Public bug reported:
If I accidentally press the Super key (or Windows key), it apparently
goes into some kind of Overview format and shows a window of commands
that could be typed. It's a pretty dark black window (just barely
translucent) and takes up most of the screen.
The problem is that the window won't go away once it shows up. Pressing
the Super key again repeatedly does not make it go away. Waiting does
not make it go away. Pressing escape, or hitting control q or hitting
control c does not make it go away. The only thing I've figured out how
to do is reboot the computer which is extremely inconvenient.
It seems to be a bug.
1) Ubuntu version 18.04.2 LTS
2) ubuntu-bug wants to know what package and I don't know how to figure out
what package that is. All I know is it's the super key. I tried gnomu-unity and
gnome and it said no packages matching gnome.
3) what I expected to happen is having some way to make the menu go away again
(probably by continuing to press the Super key a couple more times) or by
pressing Esc... but it does not go away unless I reboot the computer.
4) what happened instead is see above. I tried various things to make it go
away and none of them worked.
