Some apps (e.g. GNOME Password Safe) don't get focus after search in overview
Affected version
- Fedora 35
- Gnome-shell 41.1
- Wayland
Bug summary
Steps to reproduce
- Open gnome-terminal, gnome-password-safe, and gnome-control-center
- Place them on your screen that they don't overlap each other
- Focus gnome-terminal
- Hit Super, search for
gnome-password-safe
, hit Enter --> gnome-terminal stays focussed - However, hit Super, search for
gnome-control-center
, hit Enter --> gnome-control-center gets focussed
On an interesting note however, gnome-password-safe gets focussed correctly, if it was fully obscured by another app before entering the overview and searching.
What happened
After 4., I gnome-terminal stayed focussed.
What did you expect to happen
After 4., I would expect that gnome-password-safe has focus afterward.
Relevant logs, screenshots, screencasts etc.
Here is a screencast showing that behavior:
