Among the more than 700 gnome-shell bugs in Fedora bugzilla, I've
found
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/956306
which exists since 2013-04-24 and is for Fedora 18. Since it has not
been responded to by a maintainer, what would be the normal
procedure? To open a new ticket for Fedora 20?
Go ahead and file a bug - this will help for tracking and the worst
case scenario is it will merely be marked as a duplicate. You've
already documented the steps to reproduce, so most of the work of
filing a bug is already done :)
