Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:

  apport-collect 1875745

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The button you are calling waffle is the button grid icons for the application screen right?

[Matthew Holder (matt-mattmole)]

Yes, that is the button I mean. Strangely, after the session has been active for some time, the button now responds

[Matthew Holder (matt-mattmole)]

I've just logged off and on again a couple of times and the issue goes away for me when I use the super key to open the menu. After this the button works for me

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Are you clicking within the button or clicking on the corner of the screen? See bug 1873321.

[Matthew Holder (matt-mattmole)]

I'm clicking within the button

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Please remember to run:

  apport-collect 1875745

We need a new collection because the bug was assigned to the wrong package the first time, so it attached the wrong files.

The journal log has those errors
JS ERROR: TypeError: iconTheme is null
Do you use theme different from the default?

[Matthew Holder (matt-mattmole)]

No, this is a brand new, stock 20.04 install using the experimental ZFS
support
