Gnome gets stuck in overview mode

[Eric Stith]

I'm running Ubuntu 17.10, and I have repeatedly had a problem with the desktop environment getting stuck in overview mode. When stuck, I can close and select windows, and access the menus at on the top bar, but I cannot exit overview mode. The only solution I've found is to log out and log back in. I'm not exactly sure what combination of circumstances causes it to happen, but it seems to happen more often if invoked via the corner hover point. It also happens in both Wayland and Xorg.

I have started getting this very bug after upgrade to hippo (21.04). Happens much more often when the "Activities" hot corner extension is enabled. But also happens without it...

I also hit this within an hour of installing hippo (21.04) on a new machine, having made zero configuration changes anywhere. My guess is that it happened when I accidentally mashed a few keys at once (which may have included the windows key)...?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
