No one has interest to look at this bug?

There is interest, but it seems to be working as expected on my hardware. Can you share the make and model of your laptop? Is it in Hybrid graphics mode when you're seeing this happen? If you run watch nvidia-smi, do you see the application appear in the process list at all?

Yeah I am using Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 with Ryzen 5 4600H, and GTX 1650. Yep I checked "nvtop" in terminal and it doesn't opened anything. It's working fine in launcher (Super key launcher) but from app menu it just close the menu and will do nothing. And it's on Hybrid GPU mode.

Ok now i found out what happened. Personally i disable DE animations to be faster on work, from the gnome-tweaks i disabled that and if the animation be on the button works fine. But if i turn off the animation the button works if i hit enter on the launch button! It just doesn't work with mouse click, please fix this little bug!
