Strange behavior on f37 with random short freezings on the system and second monitor shortly disconecting

I’m not an expert on the matter, and I’m having some strange behaviors on f37, where it randomly freezes for a short time (like for 2 seconds every 4 to 30 seconds). I find it the most annoying when I’m writing something and it gets stucked when the key is pressed, so I get something like “HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHello” (or when erasing)…

Are you by chance running the latest mutter and gnome-shell in Fedora 37?

Can you check you system logs for messages similar to these:

Attempting to freeze the notification queue for object ClutterText[0x5641b693eca0]; Property notification does not work during instance finalization.
Attempting to thaw the notification queue for object ClutterText[0x5641b693eca0]; Property notification does not work during instance finalization.

I had temporarily to rever to an old version of mutter on Fedora 38 Beta and the version I used caused all kinds of issues including lots of slowness and even incompatibility with the gnome portal, preventing apps from opening.

You might be hitting that same issue.
