--- Comment #32 from Victor J. Orlikowski <vjorlikow...@gmail.com> ---
I am experiencing this bug as well, on 5.27.4 (as shipped with KUbuntu 23.04).
I have, however, discovered a *partial* workaround...for both the Overview
effect *and* the Desktop Grid effect (which is also affected by this bug).
When the bug manifests (for me), search, tab, and arrow keys all stop
functioning in the Overview effect.
Escape *also* stops functioning (which was my traditional mechanism for
*exiting* the Overview effect, as well as the Desktop Grid effect).
Being able to exit these effects using the keyboard was the "most impacting"
misfeature, for me.
I have discovered, however, that using the registered shortcut key combination
that you used to *enter* these effects, is sufficient to *exit* them, even when
the bug is actively manifesting!
So - on my configuration - "Meta-w" is the primary key combination used to
enter the Overview effect, and I have an alternate key combination of
"Control-Alt-Up" set up for it as well. For the Desktop Grid effect - the
primary key combination used to enter it is "Control-F8", and I have an
alternate key combination of "Control-Alt-PageUp" set for it.
If have discovered that, if I use "Meta-w" *or* "Control-Alt-Up" to enter the
Overview effect, I can use *either* of those key combinations to exit the
Overview effect (even if no other keys are working, because of this bug).
Similarly - if I have entered the Desktop Grid effect using *either*
"Control-F8" *or* "Control-Alt-PageUp", I can use *either* of those key
combinations to exit the Desktop Grid effect (even if no other keys are working
- again, because of this bug).
This discovery makes the bug *significantly* less impacting for me - and I hope
it provides a hint unto the resolution (since these exceptions to the set of
non-functioning key combinations seem significant).
