How to fix the duplicate first character/letter bug when using the quick search from the applications launcher window. This occurs while using Gnome on Linux based operating systems.

This bug is caused by the Dock to Dash extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/307/dash-to-dock/
Open ticket on the issue: https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock/issues/1855

Easiest solution thanks to user ncounter: "Workaround: there is a flag option under Appearance that says Show overview on startup. By disabling it and re-logging back, it does not happen anymore, and the drawback is only that it does not trigger the overview view at startup."

Use ALT+F2 and type "r" to relog fast.
