Cannot type in address bar nor page content in live session

[Simon Chopin]

While testing the focal 20.04.3 Ubuntu Desktop iso, I tried to launch Firefox in the live session, but was unable to type anything to either the address bar or the content of the homepage (with a text box to search stuff)

After further testing it's not a Firefox problem, other applications have the same issue. Weirdly, gnome-shell itself doesn't have the issue, hence my initial mistake. Gnome terminal, thunderbird, and Ubuntu software all have the same symptoms.

Note that mouse input works fine.

Reaffecting to gnome-shell as it seems to be a problem there?

This bug seems to be intermittent. I've now rebooted 5 or 6 times the system and I could only reproduce the issue on the first reboot. :/

Thanks for your report.

Could you please describe your testing environment (VM vs HW, HW configuration, ...)

[Simon Chopin (schopin)]

Oh yes sorry, I should have done that in the initial report.

I'm using a Lenovo Yoga laptop model 710-IKB, with an AZERTY keyboard
layout. It had no external input devices plugged in. A notable HW
feature of the laptop is that it has a touchscreen.

I'll give it a few more tries later today to see if I can reproduce.
