Public bug reported:

When I select the task bar menu, click on the Wifi and select "Select to
network", a modal window appears that allows me to select a Wifi
network.

After I have clicked on one of the networks, normally, when I click
Cancel or Connect, the modal window disappears and returns me to the
desktop.

With the current gnome-shell, this modal window persists and I cannot
access the desktop - this is both in Wayland and in X. Connect doesn't
seem to work - it's like the buttons are no longer accepting clicks. The
ESC key also doesn't do anything. (If I don't click on a network, the
ESC key does work, and so does Cancel.)

I think I once managed to get Alt-Ctrl-F1 to bring back the GDM login
window, but the modal window was still there when I went back into the
desktop.

Alt-F2 didn't work so I couldn't try re-starting gnome-shell.
