Keyboard input received in wrong order in shell elements

[Michał Sawicz]

This never seems to happen in applications, only in shell elements (Search in Overview, Password on the lockscreen - bug #1715704).

Steps to reproduce:
- Hit <Meta> to show the overview
- Slide your finger through "qwerty" on the keyboard

Expected:
- "qwerty" in the Search field

Current:
- "qetwyr", "yqrtwe", "qrwtye" in the Search field

This seems to only be an issue under Xorg. Gnome-shell on Wayland behaves fine.
