Bug Description

When starting a short break within the Pomodoro app or the shell icon, the pop up that says 5:00 remaining can't be dismissed by moving the mouse, typing keys, escape key, or any other way that I have tried. It prevents me from using the system at all (although things like hot corner, Super + Q, and the Super key still works) because all keyboards and mouse goes into the overlay. I had to open a TTY and `loginctl kill-user <me>`, re-log in, and then the count simply restart from 5:00. Waiting until it runs out make it stuck at 0:01, and I still can't use the system. Killing the session again works, and I was able to stop the pomodoro. During this time gdm3 got stuck at log in (circle no longer spins and freezes) and I had to `systemctl restart gdm3`. This happens on Wayland on hybrid Intel + Nvidia graphics. Not tested on X.org. Used to work on Wayland 21.10 IIRC (although a bit glitchy), so not sure what went wrong.

Looks like this has been fixed upstream. I'm not familiar with the Ubuntu bug fix process. What should happen now?
