Bug Description
When I select the task bar menu, click on the Wifi and select "Select to network", a modal window appears that allows me to select a Wifi network.
After I have clicked on one of the networks, normally, when I click Cancel or Connect, the modal window disappears and returns me to the desktop.
With the current gnome-shell, this modal window persists and I cannot access the desktop - this is both in Wayland and in X. Connect doesn't seem to work - it's like the buttons are no longer accepting clicks. The ESC key also doesn't do anything. (If I don't click on a network, the ESC key does work, and so does Cancel.)
I think I once managed to get Alt-Ctrl-F1 to bring back the GDM login window, but the modal window was still there when I went back into the desktop.
Alt-F2 didn't work so I couldn't try re-starting gnome-shell.
