I test Taskbar with all pending releases of Gnome, I have tested it with Centos, SUSE, Manjaro and Fedora. Taskbar can crash if the Linux distribution is installed onto a btrfs file system. Otherwise, my own experience is as documented.
@lsatenstein I also use btrfs and experience crashes of gnome-shell when using taskbar (3.24 in my case, but soon I'll test on 3.26)
What does your stacktrace for gnome-shell look like? Is it anything like these ones? https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785657
BTRFS and Taskbar
I have installed Gnome 3.26 via Fedora 27. Taskbar crashes on setup.1) I clicked to enable Favourites. It was OK. Moving taskbar to bottom panel crashes.However, once all the settings are done. TB runs just fine -- no crashing for what I use. Taskbar on lvm, ext4 and xfs work just fine. If extensions are within /usr/... gnome-shell/extensions, these may crashif /home is moved to an ext4 system, and the extensions are placed therein, --- no crashing.

Configuring Taskbar so locked up my logon directory that it became impossible to get past the password submission. I would fully lose the keyboard I had some minor success with gnome-xorg.
What I discovered or I think I discovered is that the schema (compiled) is not being respected. I set up a 27 pixal width extension to desktop (which I have placed to the right), and it came back as a 600+ value. That means that something is being passed to gnome-shell that allows the gnome-shell to misinterpret the results. I am not a javascript programmer, but I feel that TB should verify field width sizes. With btrfs, I enter 27, what I get back is 600+. I also must do all setups using gnome-xorg mode, with all settings done on the top bar, before selecting centre bottom.
SUSE linux with btrfs puts /home onto an xfs file system. When followed that approach, I had very no problems with configuring taskbar.
Taskbar, once configured, works just fine, as engineered and expected. Regards Leslie Leslie Satenstein Montréal Québec, Canada

@lsatenstein @hedgepigdaniel Personally, I don't use this extension, but I can confirm too that gnome-shell 3.24 and a root btrfs filesystem don't play well together with some gnome-shell extensions. Sometimes the gnome-shell crashes multiple times on my Arch system.
I am going to test today's patch with btrfs. If it works, then we must ask why the code passed a lint program for JS. Regards Leslie Leslie Satenstein Montréal Québec, Canada

have you seen anything in your syslog ? Gnome-shell often verboses alot in here about js problems.
This is beyond anything I can fix within this extension.
The JS lint program produces erroneous results. TaskBar for my 3 different 3.26 installations (ext4,xfs,lvm) works just fine.
I have only one issue, and its during the setup and positioning of parameters. a) I shift the desktop to the left, followed by workspace, followed by favourites, followed by activities followed by tasks. I typically add 25 extra pixals after activities, and tasks, to delineate the two.
I can on a btrfs file system immediately crash same doing the shifting.
