Glitchy/freezing desktop caused by opening app launcher group

[Douglas Silva]

# Steps to reproduce:
1. Press "Super + A" to see all apps.
2. Find an app launcher group (many launchers grouped in one item) and open it
3. Close the group

# What happens:
The pagination indicators become duplicated, followed by glitchy animations.

This can be temporarily fixed by pressing ALT + F2 and running "r" to restart the desktop.
If you don't do that soon, the desktop will become frozen, unresponsive.

# Workaround (for the frozen desktop):
Switch to another TTY and restart the 'gdm' service.

The link in comment #2 is not working, but I can already tell you are describing bug 1889102 and bug 1872268.

Thanks, it's a duplicate then. I'm attaching the video again, let's see if it works now.
