Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.22.3-3
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi
The below issue occurs occasionally.
When I try to click on the "Activities" (without quotes) on the top left corner
of the screen, Dash refuses to pop up.
I have to press the Windows key (called Super key) once and then Dash pops up
with my favorite app icons.
