Description akai 2025-12-17 17:37:10 UTC
Description of problem:
this specific issue:
- playing clair obscur expedition 33
-> enter into a fight
-> press super key 
-> gnome shell freezes, crashes and forces me to log in again

but the same issue doesnt just happen with clair obscur, or just steam games. It happens in general when i press super key during temporary resource heavy operations especially in games (for example when pressing super when joining a minecraft world)

Version-Release number of selected component:
gnome-shell-49.2-2.fc43

Desktop environment crashes when using the super key to open the activities overview while a fullscreen application is running.

This specific crash occured while playing Monster Hunter Stories 3, which had frozen before attempting to open the activities overview attempting to close the application. This does not happen every time the game crashes, nor does it happen exclusively to this game or during a software crash.
