Description Michal Odehnal 2019-02-01 14:59:00 UTC

Description of problem:
Dragging Application icon from Favourites bar to spawn application in a new workspace will not spawn new workspace but spawn the application in existing workspace.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.28.3-5.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have gnome session (non-classic) under wayland.
2. Add application to Favourites (gnome-terminal in my case).
3. Drag icon of application from Favourites bar over the first workspace.
4. Repeat from 3.

Actual results:
First drag will be as expected, new drag will not spawn new workspace but add the new application window to the first workspace.

Expected results:
All drags spawn new application window each in their own new workspace ABOVE the existing ones.

Additional info:
If I am located in a workspace where the application is not spawned (Terminal window in first workspace, I am in the second), the drag above the first workspace will spawn new application window BELLOW the first workspace even when I wanted it above.

We have a test for spawning 30 new workspaces each with new application window. Is this behaviour intended? Or is this considered bug? 

This test was successful in x11.
