Public bug reported:
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.
