Advised Troubleshooting steps:

• Disable and re-enable TaskBar with 'GNOME Tweak Tool'.

• Restart GNOME Shell:
  X11: [ Alt ]-[ F2 ] + [ r ]
  Wayland: Make sure to save your work, then log out and log back in.

• Reset all TaskBar settings at the 'About' tab in the TaskBar preferences window,
  or by terminal:
  dconf reset -f /org/gnome/shell/extensions/TaskBar/
  Restart GNOME Shell.
  If the issue stops occurring after the reset, it might be related to a single TaskBar setting.

• Disable all other GNOME Shell Extensions with 'GNOME Tweak Tool' and restart GNOME Shell to see if the issue is TaskBar related only.

• TaskBar has to be located in only one of these two directories:
  $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/TaskBar@zpydr/
/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/TaskBar@zpydr/
  If it is located in both, then remove TaskBar from one of the two:
  rm -r "$HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/TaskBar@zpydr/"
  or
  sudo rm -r /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/TaskBar@zpydr/
  This might happen for example, when installing from the GNOME Shell Extensions Website and from a repository.

• Verify if TaskBar is installed at it's latest version.
  The TaskBar version can be found at the 'About' tab in the TaskBar preferences window, or at the bottom of the metadata.json file in the TaskBar@zpydr folder.
