Focus App Launcher on multi-monitor setup puts focus on wrong display

[canadaduane]

Describe the bug On a 2-monitor (built-in laptop + 1 external display) system, the "Focus App Launcher" keyboard shortcut correctly brings up the app launcher on the laptop display, but the keyboard focus gets sent to an app on the external display. The same thing happens when using the mouse to press the "+" button to open the App Launcher window (focus goes to the other display).

Expected behavior When focusing the App Launcher window (whether via mouse or keyboard), the "Type to search..." input should become the automatic keyboard focus.

To Reproduce

• Occurs on:
  • [ ] X.Org
  • [x] Wayland
• GNOME Shell 42.3.1
• Distro: Pop!_OS 22.04
• Steps to reproduce, if applicable:

1. On a two-monitor system,
2. Have a workspace on each display, with one app open in each workspace
3. Click the "+" button to focus the app launcher on one of the displays
4. Note that the focus always goes to an app on the wrong display, rather than the "Type to search..." input of the App Launcher

Current commit Gnome Shell Extensions website says version 23

Hi

Is this something that would be a "good first issue"? I've had to put material-shell away for a while in hopes this would be fixed, but maybe I can help?

I'm currently working on https://github.com/material-shell/material-shell/pull/949 and I'll try to look into this one too
