This is actually because of new "more classic" classic session. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1720286 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1720286 *** Lenny, to re-enable the overview follow these steps: 1. Modify the following file as root: /usr/share/gnome-shell/modes/classic.json 2. Change "hasOverview": false to "hasOverview": true 3. Restart the session.

I didn't realize that this was tied to GNOME Classic. I think I'll give the newer GNOME non-classic session UI a try. -Lenny.

Created attachment 1626217 [details] gnome desktop after Super key pressed Description of problem: Immediately after doing a yum update from RHEL 7.7 GA to RHEL 7.8 Beta and rebooting I noticed that the gnome activities panel no longer works. Pressing the Super key causes the windows to get arranged on the desktop, but the activities panel is not displayed on the left and the text search entry box is not displayed. A screen shot is attached. To test if this was somehow related to my personal account settings, I created a new test user account with no customization. The test user account exhibits the same behavior. Yet I also know that the problem is not universal because I have a workstation that is running RHEL 7.8 nightly builds and the gnome activities panel does appear to function correctly on that workstation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 7.8 Beta, Gnome 3.28.2
