Title:
Keyboard navigation doesn't work in app grid subfolders

Bug description:
Hello.
My bug, if it is one, is in Wayland, or more likely in new desktop icon
management thingy, which was introduced with one of the last Ubuntu versions.
Maybe around ubuntu 22.04. I'm not sure if the problem came when Wayland was
set as the window manager or if it came when the new "Desktop Icon Manager"
thing came along. I think the two weren't too far apart in time. I'm only
reporting my problem now because I always assumed it would be fixed in future
updates. But my problem never changed with all the updates.
Here is my problem:
I can't navigate in the "Show Applications" menu with the keyboard when I go
into a subfolder. This means that I can navigate in "Show Applications" with
the keyboard as long as I stay at the top level. But when I go to a folder that
contains several programs, such as the "Utilities" folder, the keyboard
navigation no longer works. The cursor will stuck no matter which arrow key I
press. Even the Tab key is of no use. I've already searched for this problem on
the Internet, but couldn't find it. Either I'm the only one who has this
problem, or most others simply prefer to use the mouse to navigate. I only use
the keyboard when possible. I am a heavy keyboard/hotkey user.
The problem has existed for me for a long time. It either came with the
switch to Wayland or with the switch to the new desktop icon management thingy.
It's just a small problem, but for a massive keyboard user, it's really
annoying. And definitely also for people who can't use a mouse.
Kind regards
Chris
