Gnome Shell App Launch Grid random vertical navigation Buttons

[keshavbhatt]

Description: Ubuntu Focal Fossa (development branch)
Release: 20.04

Bug: Gnome shell while opening app drawer, shows random number of grid page navigation button on right side.

How to reproduce: 1- Click on 9 dots at bottom corner of dash (the app launcher button), wait for the app grid to show up.
2- Drag app icon to create apps folder.
3- As the app folder gets created check the number of vertical navigation buttons on the right side, few of them are not clickable. And this wont get fix until you will restart the shell.
