Hot corner partially disable dynamic workspaces #100

Closed thalesmaoanz closed 6 months ago

Hi there, I just recently notice that using GNOME Shell 43.9with Custom Hot Corners - Extended 44.2 partially disabled the dynamic workspaces.

Hi. Please, show me the list of all extensions enabled on your system, and find the other one, which causes this behavior.

thalesmaoa commented 6 months ago

Sorry for not making myself clear. I did that. I've disabled each extension and did some test trying to find which one was responsible to suppress gnome dynamic workspace. It is the Custom Hot Corners - Extended 44.2 the only one responsible for that.

Besides, I can't identify anything strange from the logs:

Have you tried disabling all extensions except CHC-E?

Have you tried disabling all extensions except CHC-E?

Sure. I did! I have a fresh new Debian 12 bookworm.

G-dH commented 6 months ago

Have you restarted the Shell after disabling all other extensions? I need to be certain it's a bug in CHC-E since I've never experienced this issue.

thalesmaoa commented 6 months ago

Yes!

After enabling hotcorner, I did reboot and the problem persist. Maybe some debian old package. I have no idea how to even debug it.

G-dH commented 6 months ago

Thanks, I'll look into it, when I have time.

G-dH commented 6 months ago

I didn't notice on my small phone screen in the middle of the night, but you are comparing the window picker view with the applications view. That's how default GNOME Shell behaves, CHC-E has nothing to do with it. If you want consistent behavior of workspace thumbnails in both views, you can try my V-Shell extension.

thalesmaoa commented 6 months ago

Hi @G-dH! I really thank you for your quick and fast reply. Hot corners is a must have extensions and I use it a lot. This is the main reason I can't understand why it is not working as expected. Although, it does work really well with Ubuntu distros (daily pop_os use and tested with Ubuntu).

I'm having a lot of trouble in order to explain the behavior because I can't print screen while mouse drag n drop. I will try with words now.

Sorry to insist and really appreciate your patience.

Since I have a small laptop screen, I use my gnome shell with multiple workspaces.

I drag my mouse to the left top corner and overview mode is activated.

After that, I can click and drag windows back and forth. Either using the upper thumbnails or the bigger windows of the active workspace.

While doing this, you can place a window in between two workspaces and it will, automatically, create another workspace. I can't create a new workspace placing a new windows in between two workspaces with hot corners activated.

I will try to make new videos. I honestly think that I'm doing something wrong giving your feedback

thalesmaoa commented 6 months ago

I can't reproduce it in a fresh new installation. I will dig it depper and close it for now. Thx

G-dH commented 6 months ago

Again, there is no bug affecting dynamic workspaces. You configured CHC-E to trigger the Show/Toggle Overview - App Grid instead of Show/Toggle Overview - Window Picker. In the app grid view, GNOME Shell hides workspace thumbnails and replaces them with scaled-down workspace previews from the window picker view, which doesn't support adding workspaces.
