Public bug reported: I press super a lot to see progress of other applications or the system time from activities overview when in a fullscreen application, such as a steam game. Occasionally the activities overview will not show any applications nor the desktop, but only the gray background and the search bar (although applications on the dock will still be visible and selectable, just not interactable other than audio). The clock and quick settings are the only things that work normally in this state as not even the activities search bar is responsive. The only way I've been able to exit is by restarting the computer. I'm going to try using Xorg to restart gnome next time but I've not tested that yet. This issue hasn't seemed to occur in any situations other than running full screen applications. Although, given that I don't often use activities overview outside of fullscreen apps, that may not be required for the bug to occur. This bug started after upgrading to Ubuntu 23.10.
