If you didn't tried that already you can try to run the application launcher manually

Yes, that does work but it pops up a new window - what I would prefer is what I had before - I think it must be a WayBar feature? - I will look into that . .
You can find more info in /etc/sway/config, however if you already have your configuration which is stored in ~/.config/sway/config than the /etc/sway/config is not used and you need to add your binding to your configuration.
If I can't get back what I had before, at least this is a work-around.
Thanks!

I have not had a chance to try out the ISO, just following the list out of curiosity, but based on your earlier description you were probably using either dmenu or bemenu. It's not a feature of waybar, and it is spawning a new window of sorts, just in the shape of a bar at the top of the screen overlapping with your panel. If the key combo to launch it is not working, the program could be missing or the keybind in the config could be missing, but on a fresh ISO that should be pre-configured, that does sound odd. It sounds like you can get a terminal open at least, so you could check if dmenu or bemenu are installed and take a look at the Sway config file to see what's wrong.
It's also possible rofi has a mode that looks like dmenu depending on the arguments you give it, but I don't remember if this is the case.
