Title:
Upgrading 18.10 to 19.04: cannot leave overview mode, computer needs
to be restarted
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I've upgraded my Ubuntu 18.10 to 19.04. Everything looked okey,
however if I enter gnome shell "overview mode" I cannot leave it
anymore, I can't select any window, type to search etc, and all my
windows are in the foreground, covering the search bar etc, but not
possible to select them. Simply I can't do anything. I can launch
applications from the dock but cannot see and access them anymore. So
basically I stuck in overview mode which does not work too much.
What I can do, is to use the top panel to log out. If I do that, and
login again, I only get a black screen and nothing more. I have to
press the power button at that point to shut the computer off, so I
can turn on again.
It seems everything works, just entering into that "overview mode"
kills everything then and only reboot helps from that point.
Sorry, I am not sure what the official name of the gnome3 shell
"overview mode" possibly I used the wrong terminology. Also, my bad
English cannot help either to express the problem well enough, I
guess.
