I installed a fresh Ubuntu on a VM, and the problem did go away. I'm sorry for misleading you. I found out that the problem goes away if I disable the third-party GSConnect extension (due to be included in the next Ubuntu, https://github.com/andyholmes/gnome-shell-extension- gsconnect) that talks to KDE Connect on my phone. Disable the extension, reboot, and the problem is gone (Alt+F2 & r doesn't work). Enable it again, or even open the preferences, and the problem appears again.
