[SOLVED] Stuck in lock screen

I'm using Gnome 3 with Arch on a Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 (9365) and have a problem with getting stuck in the lock screen. If I press win+L I see the lock screen with the animated upwards arrows for a second, then black and the lock screen comes back. The screen is animated as it should with the arrows and the time/date. But I cant get to the login screen whatever I press or if I drag upwards with the mouse. Dragging on the touch screen doesn't work either. Only thing that works is to press ctrl+alt+f1 and login again. Any ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] Stuck in lock screen

Found the reason, one of my gnome extensions stopped working after the latest update. The extension "Drop Down Terminal".
