Public bug reported: Gnome-shell would not respond to any click on any of its icons. I'm not really sure why, but I suspect it had to do with a screen rotation. I was using Wayland, not X when this happened. I couldn't figure an easy way out of this situation so I did a ctrl-alt-F3 and signed in and rebooted the machine. I'm sorry if that lost some data for you.
