Bug Description

Using Wayland, ubuntu-gnome, nvidia-510, RTL locale (hebrew).

When sliding the cursor along the top (horizontal) edge of the screen to the hotspot at the top right corner of the screen (where the activities menu is found in an rtl environment), gnome-shell does not go into overview mode (and back).

When sliding the cursor to the very same hotspot along the right (vertical) edge of the screen, gnome-shell works properly and goes to overview mode (and back).

This problem exists only in wayland gnome sessions. It does not occur in x11 gnome sessions.
