Bug Description
Release: Ubuntu 21.04 (20210406 iso image)
Software, version: gnome-shell, 3.38.4-1ubuntu1
How to reproduce:
1) Boot up Ubuntu 21.04 image (live session or installed)
2) Once inside shell, go to overview (either using Super key or clicking on Activities)
3) Search for any application (eg., terminal) and launch it.
Expected:
The application launches normally and usable.
Actual:
The application launches but the window looses focus. When the application is launching, the desktop icons disappear for few seconds and reappear. When they reappear the launched application window will not have focus.
If we launch the application from the app grid (without searching first) or from the dock, the window retains the focus.
Tested on VM (quickemu and virt-manager).
