Please push out a fix for this ASAP, once this tight loop is hit the machine becomes an unusable 100% CPU using mess. I know of several others suffering exactly the same bug.

For me this can be reproduced by having a terminal using half the screen (using CMD+LEFT), then switching to fullscreen (F11) and back (F11). Repeating this some number of times triggers this tight loop of 100% CPU usage. After that, it's difficult to get window focus and windows are slow to respond to anything.

To recover I use `killall -3 gnome-shell`, which allows Gnome to restart but then has the delightful affect of throwing windows around the screen randomly and forgetting there are multiple monitors.
