Description Thiago Sueto 2024-03-22 17:43:27 UTC 
SUMMARY
If you have multiple virtual desktops and switch between them with Meta+Ctrl+arrow and then immediately activate Overview with Meta+W, Overview does not show up.

The desktop sliding animation probably blocks it for a few moments.

Overview runs fine if you wait a couple seconds first.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Meta+Ctrl+arrow to switch desktop
2. Meta+W to activate Overview

OBSERVED RESULT
Overview does not show up.

Can reproduce. But this might be intentional.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2024-04-11 23:18:02 UTC 
If it is intentional, we should probably change it. But I don't think it's intentional; more like an unintended technical side effect of effect activation.
