Super-fast spinning wheel and GPU heating.
I'm not sure what's the right place to report this. Please don't hesitate to close as innapropriate.
With the latest realease under Arch linux, the network panels of gnome settings window (bluetooth, wifi..) frequently displays a super-fast spinning wheel that makes my GPU overheat.
$ uname -a
Linux etak 5.2.13-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Sep 6 17:52:33 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ cat /usr/share/gnome/gnome-version.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gnome-version>
<platform>3</platform>
<minor>32</minor>
<micro>2</micro>
<distributor>Arch Linux®</distributor>
<date>2019-05-07</date>
</gnome-version>
One way to reproduce:
- pick a way to monitor CPU/GPU activity.
- open settings/wifi window
- pick a network, connect with wrong password
- observe how fast is the spinning wheel and the overreaction of GPU computing

What could be causing this behaviour? How to I fix or work around it? What additional information would you need?
This is it, thank you for support :)
