Bug Description
The "power off" dialog in gnome shell does not have focus when launched from the launcher ui (meta key + search) and it is therefore impossible to select either "cancel" or "power off" using keyboard navigation.
If, on the other hand, the dialog is launched from the indicator area in the top right corner, the dialog has focus and keyboard navigation works as expected.
See the attached screencast for a visual demonstration.

I have Fedora 36 running on another computer and there, the keyboard navigation works as expected when launched from the search UI. Both the affected 22.04 and the unaffected Fedora 36 installations are fairly fresh and neither has any additional Gnome extensions installed.
