> Cannot reproduce.

I can also not reproduce it always, it seems to happen randomly but most times at the first try. Only a re-login or pulling another icon back on the panel resolves it for me. Please see the recording.

Also cannot reproduce on bare metal. Possibly a VM graphics driver bug? Can you test on bare metal too?

Looks like this issue had stemmed from having accidentally chosen a wrong graphics controller in virtualbox.
