Issue/Bug Description: I'm experiencing an issue where when a video (tested with multiple sites) is put into fullscreen on my secondary monitor, when I hit the Super key, the launcher isn't activating on either monitor. This is when I have just the one application open (browser that has the fullscreen video). If I hope another application from the dock, I then am able to open the launcher again. This happens on both X11 and Wayland sessions.

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

  1. Open browser (Firefox, Brave, Floorp are the tested browsers)
  2. Navigate to YouTube or Rumble
  3. Start a video and make it fullscreen
  4. Press Super key; launcher doesn't open

Expected behavior: Whether video is fullscreen or not, pressing the Super key should open the launcher

I was having this issue with steam and came here to research and came across this. Found the answer here:

https://github.com/pop-os/pop/issues/2518

TLDR: Extensions > Pop Shell > Toggle "Allow launcher over fullscreen window"
