Public bug reported:
Hi,
this must sound odd, but to me most Desktop bugs do :-/
The issue:
- If I hit the meta key the usual "search app" overlay appears.
- I search for an application and start it
- the overlay does NOT disappear anymore
- the miniature images of the just started app seems fine
- without being able to leave the overlay I'm stuck unable to input into
applications anymore
- Things like mouse and alt+f4 seem to work, therefore it seems to work fine
but not update the screen correctly.
## Tries to resolve so far:
- I have seen similar issues due to different themes that after upgrades fail
to work well. I usually used the "Yaru" theme, but I switched back to the
default theme (Adawaita) and issues remain.
## Tries to resolve that I want to do but don't yet know how:
- reset the full gnome config back to pristine state (maybe back up my old one)
so we could check if "any" config is related to this.
---
## Odd things happened recently that might (or not) be related:
Yesterday I had programs with text areas (gedit, gvim, ...) stuck. The text
panels just didn't initialize anymore - they stayed inactive. All of such
programs that I started before worked fine and I was assuming some auto-update
in background might have broken things. Therefore I tried to close out my open
work and reboot after a full upgrade of whatever packages were still
outstanding to upgrade. But this left me with the current problem.
BTW - now such editors initialize and work fine again.

I'll try to capture it on video so you can make more sense of it and
also probably re-target it to the right component as well as letting me
know what to do for better debugging.
