Launcher loose focus when a window open in background
Affected version
gnome-shell 1:42.5-1 on archlinux with XOrg or Wayland
Bug summary
After typing in the launcher to find an application to launch, sometimes hitting enter won't work because the focus is lost, most certainly when another window is opening in the background.
Steps to reproduce
- Hit Super key to open the launcher
- Type, e.g., "Fire", a list of app matching the text, the first is selected, then hit enter to open it
- While Firefox is opening, his Super again to open another app
- Type, e.g., Thund, a list of app matching the text, the first is selected
- Because Firefox finally opened in the background, the launcher looses the focus on the selected app and you cannot hit enter
What happened
It lost focus on the select app in the launcher while I was typing.
What did you expect to happen
That whatever happens anywhere else, if I'm in the launcher, I want to do business in the launcher and not loose focus there.
The idea is that I open several apps like this when booting my computer and it's really annoying :)
