Icon disappears from favorites in gnome-shell 3.32 (upstream dock, not the ubuntu-dock)

See attached screenshots. Not sure if upstream bug or Ubuntu bug, hence reporting here first.

Confirmed. This week (when using gnome-shell upstream, not the Ubuntu Dock) I've been seeing the same bug (occasionally) with my Files icon.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This also survived across a reboot, which was odd (or the bug triggered directly after boot).

Unfortunately it seems the fix for this bug landed just hours/days slightly too late to be included in gnome-shell 3.32.0+git20190410

Does anyone know a workaround for this bug?

You can download the Pop!_OS gnome-shell packages here:

https://launchpad.net/~system76/+archive/ubuntu/pop/+packages

We added the commit that fixed this on top of the current Ubuntu version. You will probably only need to install these two deb files:

https://launchpad.net/~system76/+archive/ubuntu/pop/+files/gnome-shell-common_3.32.0+git20190410-1ubuntu1pop0~1555607389~19.04~56282e6_all.deb
https://launchpad.net/~system76/+archive/ubuntu/pop/+files/gnome-shell_3.32.0+git20190410-1ubuntu1pop0~1555607389~19.04~56282e6_amd64.deb

I also expect/hope gnome-shell 3.32.1 will reach Ubuntu 19.04 updates soon enough. So you may not need to do anything other than wait :/

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-shell - 3.32.1-1ubuntu1
