I am on a fresh 22.04.3 LTS Ubuntu install, with no freaky configuration whatsoever. Whenever I hit Ctrl + o from different applications (for example browsers), I noticed that when I hit ESC to close the window it was not working, even though the background is darkened behind the window!

What lead me to the conclusion that the problem resides within focus, is that when I alt-tab’ed back to the “Open File” window, pressing ESC closes it just fine.

I’d appreciate any help.

I apologize if I am lacking any more details, let me know so I can provide them.
