Disabling extensions in the same session still shows the same behavior. Logging out and back in again with them still disabled shows the same behavior on the "Activities" button, but app launchers respond to touch events appropriately. Re-enabling them in the same session keeps the same state ("Activities" button bad, app launchers good)

However, in gnome-shell, touching the top-left 'Activities' menu results in a quick flash of the menu button, but not the launching of the overview. Once in the overview (via mouse/keyboard/swipe-from- left), touching on an application icon (in either the left tray or the applications grid) results in the application icon flashing, but not activating. A long-touch will bring up a menu in which touching on "new window" works properly. Additionally, touching the "show applications" grid button works, as do other components of the top bar, its only the the "activities" menu button and app icon launchers that are "registering" a touch but not activating properly.
