Public bug reported: I've recorded the bug and uploaded privately to youtube:
In this video you can see the steps to recreate the bug: -> https://youtu.be/gSEonR2hREs Steps (in this case): - Make an app folder - Open it - Drag the application outside the folder - Without closing the folder, right click on the application icon, and then click in an empty space inside the folder. Repeat this until the folder closes itself automatically. - Now any program will ignore the keyboard shortcuts, I installed "screenkey" so you can see that the keyboard is working normally. In this one you can see nautilus ignoring all my input (keyboard shortcuts and mouse clicks), this behavior is present in all the other apps: -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSBebjHZUkU Also, I can recover the control if I click on the top right button, the activities overview, but everuthing stops working if I exit the activities overview: -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqLR8lVLxRM [ The workaround was logging out and logging back again. ] Output of lsb_release -rd: Description: Ubuntu Groovy Gorilla (development branch) Release: 20.10 Output of apt-cache policy gnome-shell: gnome-shell: Installed: 3.37.91-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.37.91-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.37.91-1ubuntu1 500 500 http://hn.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu groovy/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status What I expected to happen: -> I can take the app out of the folder.
