[PLUG] GNOME "type to search" character duplication

["thomas.plug--- via plug" <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

I have an curious behavior with the "type to search" box in the GNOME 
overview view...

I'm running GNOME 42.4, X11, and GDM 43.0 on my box (Manjaro linux), 
whenever I go into the Activities view (or hit the keyboard shortcut to 
"Show the overview") and start typing, the very first character, and 
only that one, is duplicated in the "Type to search" box, all other 
characters are accurate.

I have no idea whether this is some kind of weird setting I did or if 
there's a config file that I can muck with so any insight or pointers on 
how to debug this nuisance will be very much appreciated...

To the best of my knowledge, this only started happening about 1 week 
ago or maybe a little longer but not much. This also only happens on one 
of my boxes but not on any of the other ones, which are running the 
exact same configuration (but are different types of machines).
This duplication also only manifests itself in that very specific "Type 
to search" box, I don't experience weird duplication anywhere else...

# Repro steps

- sign in
- start something to no longer be in overview (this doesn't matter, but 
just for good measure)
- Decide I want to bring up 'gedit'
- hit "Show the overview" keyboard shortcut (or hit the "Activities" in 
the upper left; in my case, "Show the overview" is mapped to Super+S)
- start typing 'gedit'

# Expected:

The "Type to search" box contains 'gedit', nothing more, nothing less. 
Search results contain the 'gedit' application.

# Actual

The "Type to search" box contains 'ggedit'. Because 'ggedit' is not an 
app, there are no search results.

I can manually clean up the duplicated character ('gg' -> 'g') but this 
is super annoying to have to do.

# Workaround

Type 'g', then hit backspace to eliminate the duplicated 'g' and 
continue typing 'edit'
