[Bug 1795410] [NEW] cannot bring up window menu via keybinding (alt-space or otherwise)

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

I'm accustomed to hitting 'alt-space' to 'Activate the window menu'
where there are options like 'Always on Top' or 'Always on visible
workspace'.

After an upgrade today I can no longer bring up that menu.

Alt-space simply does nothing. Configuring the keyboard shortcut in
gnome-control-center to another shortcut has no effect.
