Bug description:
[Impact]
Shell overview gets stuck where it's permanently toggled but not
visible. Only app windows appear in their overview state. Can't
interact with applications anymore.
[Test Plan]
1. Log into GNOME.
2. Press Super+A
3. Click on 'Files' and wait till it has launched.
4. Press the Super key.
Expect: Can interact with the application window.
[Where problems could occur]
Since the patch affects some of the core gnome-shell layout logic,
anything is possible. Risk has been mitigated by the patch being
small.
[Original description]
When I press the "windows" or "options" or "super" key a list of
running applications (like alt-tab) and a text window appears. I can
choose from the running applications or write a command into the text
window. After I chose an application or press ESC all this disappear
and I can do my thing.
Since trying 21.04 sometimes this
1. does not appear properly - there is no visible text window
2. does not disappear - despite what I click on or what keys do I press this
never disappear so I can not use my running applications or start anything new
even from the menu.
I have to log out and in to break this.
Disabling my gnome-shell extensions or using xorg instead of wayland
does not helps.
Since upgrading this morning this happens every time I press Super,
not just occasionally, thus making my desktop unusable.
