gnome shell crashes and fails to restart

get the log message as follows:

== Stack trace for context 0x5569d91a2910 ==
Running GNOME Shell (using mutter 44.1) as a X11 window and compositing manager

soft-brightness-plus: no delays for setting pointer invisible
 Received an X Window System error.
   This probably reflects a bug in the program.
   The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
   (Details: serial 754 error_code 3 request_code 2 (core protocol) minor_code 0)
   (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
    To debug your program, run it with the MUTTER_SYNC environment
     variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
      backtrace from your debugger if you break on the meta_x_error() function.)

Arch Linux kernel 6.3.1-arch-1 gnome 44.1

Which one might cause this problem, the extension, gnome-shell or Xorg?

Thank you!

If you disable the extension, does gnome-shell still crash?

If it doesn't crash, then perhaps it is indeed because of the extension. In that case, can you enable debugging logs for the extension (in the extension settings dialog) and post logs from journalctl | grep soft-brightness-plus?

Thank you for your help. This couldn't be caused by the extensions or Xorg. Because gnome shell still crashes, after I disabled all the extensions and transferred from Xorg to Wayland.
