Some talk can be found here, but we are both clueless: https://github.com/simonthechipmunk/jumptooverview/issues/1 i dont know if you have installed these or anything similair, but just though id mention that some weird things can make it happen...

Hmm. - During one repro the only other application running was firefox so the options are limited. - Restart of gnome-shell (from tty1 or if gnome-temrminal had focus at the time of bug) should not fix the problem as far as I understand as the offending application would still hold the lock - but it does here. PS. I don't have any extensions installed.

Are you able to reproduce > it often? I reproduced it multiple times over the weekend but not since then. It might be due to usage patters on workdays/weekends (or amount of things I do during workdays on my own computer).

Today it happened with Epiphany, GNOME Terminal, gedit, Boxes, and System Settings open. Surely the shell should be robust to this; applications should not be able to break the desktop....

Wayland fixes it. Anyway, I think Daniel Stone added the ability to print grab clients a while back. digging a little, what you have to do is: $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options "['grab:debug']" then hit ctrl-alt-F11 and grab info will be sent to the journal. You'll still have to use xwininfo or xlsclients or something to match up the client ids.
