[Bug 1754140] [NEW] Gnome gets stuck in overview mode

[Eric Stith]

Public bug reported:

I'm running Ubuntu 17.10, and I have repeatedly had a problem with the
desktop environment getting stuck in overview mode.  When stuck, I can
close and select windows, and access the menus at on the top bar, but I
cannot exit overview mode.  The only solution I've found is to log out
and log back in.  I'm not exactly sure what combination of circumstances
causes it to happen, but it seems to happen more often if invoked via
the corner hover point.  It also happens in both Wayland and Xorg.
