Bug description
Hello!
Every time I try to open the menu by pressing the "Windows" key, it doesn't respond until 2-5 times pressed.
Steps to reproduce
Press Windows Key several times until mint menu opens finally so I can type in a program name.
Expected behavior
Instant response, not having to press twice.
