Open Google Chrome
Click on Activities on top left to go to GNOME Shell Overlay mode
Close chrome by clicking the X button using the mouse being controlled via barrier from another computer

I have similar experience: I have additional monitor (to laptop). If both or at least one (laptop's) monitors are set to use fractal scaling time to time Ubuntu 22.04 crashes, but not fully. It acts just like it's suspended or I logged out. I can login back and some apps are still running (i.e. docker containers are there), but some (Firefox, PHPStorm..) are closed. I switched from wayland to x11, disabled fractal scaling and for some time no crashing happened. But setup without fractal scaling is not comfortable for usage.

Same thing, with XFCE on manjaro.
I use scaling to 80% on the client machine, and after i close any chrome/chromium/electron app (Chrome, Opera, Slack), the XFCE session is lost.
