Window switcher sometimes doesn't work after login
What Happened?
Sometimes after login/reboot, the window switcher doesn't work correctly. Hitting Super-Tab (which is what I have bound to "Cycle Windows") swaps immediately between the two most recent windows, but the switcher doesn't appear. I've noticed that disabling and re-adding the shortcut fixes the problem, so now I have a startup item that runs gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings cycle-windows; sleep 1; gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings cycle-windows "['<Super>Tab']". This fixes the issue most but not all of the time.
I've reported "Wayland" under session type because it's what I'm using, but this happens also with an X session.
Steps to Reproduce
- Reboot/login
- Hit the key for "Cycle windows"
- (sometimes) Instead of the window switcher, the most recent window gets activated immediately.
Expected Behavior
I would expect the window switcher to always appear as expected.

I'm still seeing this sometimes. I'm happy to provide additional information but I don't know what might be needed. Are there any logs I could provide to help diagnose this problem?
Can you please open Terminal after login and type journalctl --no-pager --follow | grep gala. And after that try using window switcher. Are there any warnings/error
