Hi guys,
There are 2 versions of mutter package at the moment in f43: 49.1.1 and 49.1. Version 49.1.1 has this bug and version 49.1 has this bug.
Both bugs make it pretty difficult for me to use GNOME. Any suggestions, guys?

If these are the two upstream versions and they both have bugs, I’m afraid there’s not a lot downstream distributions like Fedora can do. We’ll just have to wait for upstream to release a fix so we can update the package 
Downgrade, or take the opportunity to discover a WM like Niri or Sway.
The linked discussion points to a specific commit:
core: Consume also key release for keybindings triggering on press (5d357fcc) · Commits · GNOME / mutter · GitLab
You can undo it and build the packages in Copr:
# Set up Copr CLI
sudo dnf install copr-cli
xdg-open https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/api/
# Create own repo
COPR_NAME="hotfix"
COPR_PKG="mutter"
COPR_SRC="https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/${COPR_PKG}"
COPR_BR="f43"
COPR_GIT="https://github.com/GNOME/${COPR_PKG}"
COPR_REV="5d357fccec8b87d840e65509a81ada6aeef4bc35"
copr create ${COPR_NAME} \
--chroot fedora-43-$(arch) \
--enable-net on
copr add-package-custom ${COPR_NAME} \
--name ${COPR_PKG} \
--script-builddeps git-core \
--script /dev/stdin << EOI
git clone -b "${COPR_BR}" "${COPR_SRC}".git .
git clone "${COPR_GIT}".git "${COPR_PKG}"
git -C "${COPR_PKG}" diff "${COPR_REV}" \
"${COPR_REV}"~1 > undo-"${COPR_REV}".patch
sed -i -e "
/^Release:/s|%autorelease|2%{?dist}|
/^Source0:/s|http:|https:|
/^Patch:/a Patch1: undo-${COPR_REV}.patch
" "${COPR_PKG}".spec
EOI
copr build-package ${COPR_NAME} \
--name ${COPR_PKG}

Thanks @vgaetera for the solution! I have just completed rebuilding it from sources myself, but the patch approach is way easier! 
If anyone needs the patched version of mutter:
sudo dnf copr enable jsnjack/hotfix
sudo dnf update -y
