I have User Themes and go with the stock Manjaro dark theming, which doesn’t seem to have been effected at this point. I’m relatively new to Gnome (it took a while for me to realize it’s my favorite, after 20 years of XFCE, KDE and all the others), but I’ve heard that even if a particular extension is not enabled, having it installed can cause problems when Gnome moves from one version to another. I imagine it could also have something to do with graphics hardware, etc.
Already disabled all extensions, changed to 5.11 (At this point I can discard a kernel issue), so far no more crashes.
Yes, on two systems. It appears the gjs 2:1.68.0-2 update affected more than one extension. Downgrading to 2:1.66.2-1 solved the issue.

Same problem with Gnome 40 update here as well, lots of flickering in app drawer. It might be a nvidia problem or it might be a manjaro problem, not sure.
When it comes to Gnome-tweaks, it needs to be updated to new version but its still in beta.

I am using prime offload so Gnome is running on iGPU
So, flickering issues in iGPU and Nvidia?
I think that problem is connect with theme, but I am not entirely sure
I suspected the same thing and tried new Materia theme, which has a support for Gnome40.
Problem is not with theme.
I also tried gnome-shell-dev and Gnome 40 isos from github in the past and didn’t experience any flickering/layering there…
It doesn’t seem to be gpu-related, since the problem only occurs within the app drawer.
You can try, but at this point it’s about Manjaro’s integration of Gnome 40.
40.beta-0 is now pushed.

Problem of flickering gone with the latest manjaro-gdm-theme update.
Another thing I notice with gnome-shell40alfa package from chaotic aur is that it requires js68 instead of js78. Is this important? Is there a problem with packaging of Manjaro or Arch?

It’s not a problem with Caffeine, it’s gnome-shell-extension-appindicator. Fixed with 36-1.
