Gipsz Jakab (tudorapo) wrote : Gnome is failing at the "show applications" function

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.
