It seems like a similar issue to this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1633 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1686
It don't know exactly which package this problem lies in, but it might be gnome-shell (you would know better). Might be that the problem is already solved, and just bumping the gnome package would solve it. ** Package changed: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) => gnome-shell (Ubuntu) ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues #1633 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1633 ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues #1686 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1686 ** Summary changed: - Show application renders computer unusable (invisible overlap) + Stuck on show applications overlay (can't close it) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1854386 Title: Stuck on show applications overlay (can't close it) Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hello, I've upgraded my ubuntu 19.04 to 19.10 this morning and I came across this very annoying bug. Whenever I click on 'show applications' or press win key (shortcut), the menu with the applications show, but it's empty - you can search through it and it works fine (applications show, one can trigger application launch), but then after you select an application, the menu doesn't disappear at all. It doesn't go away when pressing any application on the dash panel, nor when clicking esc key, it only goes away after you click on the dash icon again, BUT... It doesn't really go away - it just becomes invisible, but still it overlaps all the items that are launched (with exception of dash panel, because it's not being overlapped), and you can't do anything on any launched application. Sometimes when you try to move some windows, you can see them getting transformed into a miniature, as if the system wanted to insert application into the suggestions on the 'show applications'. The only thing that worked for me was restarting my computer.
