search bar doesn't get the focus

[Penna Panna]

When I start typing in the activities overview screen I should type into the upper search box. However, sometimes after I press super or super+A (just because I have no activities button in the top-left corner) and I start typing, all my typed characters goes into the currently focused window. Even if I have noticed that I didn't type into the correct location, I was unable to click the search bar to get it focused, because (sometimes) all the overview window gets closed by this click.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 17.10 (artful) reached end-of-life on July 19, 2018.

Does anyone still see a problem related to the one that was reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
