That update was not included in the release. The update was created on 2021-11-04, which is *after* the release happened (on 2021-11-02), let alone when the release was signed off (2021-10-28) or actually built (I think that was 2021-10-25). The release has gnome-shell-41.0- 4.fc35 and mutter-41.0-4.fc35 . You can see this for yourself at https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/35/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/g/ and https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/35/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/m/ . This is just a note, as long as you have the updated versions and have rebooted since installing them, it doesn't really matter where you got them. 2. The problem you are having is not the problem the update was intended to fix. I know this because I was the person who noticed the problem and backported the fix. That problem did not occur simply by opening a file and editing it, it always involved switching focus between the text editor and other windows. There are more details on the bug the update actually fixes at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/4647 . The update definitely did fix that problem, because I had it before and I don't have it now. 3. The problem you're hitting now is not likely a general one, or else a lot more people would likely be complaining about it, given how "impossible to overlook" (your words) it is. It's not happening to me, for instance. gedit behaves just fine for me. Unless anyone else can reproduce it by just running gedit, we still need to figure out what exactly in your configuration is triggering the problem. Maybe you could record a video of it? That might show something that helps.
