What Happened?

Sometimes my configured cmd + space keyboard shortcut to open the application menu no longer works. I think it only happens after logging into a new session. When I reconfigure the same shortcut it works again. It seems like a problem since I've installed elementary OS 8. It seems to happen in classic and secure session. I don't think there was a problem when the keyboard shortcut was just the default cmd.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to keyboard settings > Shortcuts > System
  2. Change the Applications menu keyboard shortcut to cmd + space.
  3. Logout
  4. Login

But it doesn't always work.

Expected Behavior

The custom keyboard shortcut keeps working.

OS Version

8.x (Circe)

Session Type

Classic and Secure Sessions (I have tested in both)

Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)
