alphabetical-grid-extension vs dash-to-panel

alphabetical-grid-extension

Alphabetically order GNOME's app grid and folders (by stuarthayhurst)

extensions.gnome.org

An icon taskbar for the Gnome Shell. This extension moves the dash into the gnome main panel so that the application launchers and system tray are combined into a single panel, similar to that found in KDE Plasma and Windows 7+. A separate dock is no longer needed for easy access to running and favorited applications. (by home-sweet-gnome)

Is it possible to show all apps instead of chosen ones in the "Show application" menu ?
1 project | /r/gnome | 5 Aug 2022

That was a change in GNOME 40. I thought it was a bug at first, very confusing. As someone who rarely uses the app grid, I find that Alphabetical App Grid + Favourites in AppGrid makes a nice combination to put it the way I expect.
How can I get full screen categorized app menu like old GNOME versions?

Can you record what happens without any extension enabled? I suspected it was your dock extension because it perfectly fits this bug: https://github.com/home-sweet-gnome/dash-to-panel/issues/1698

It should be working somehow, but it really isn't. At least not with the current git version.
