Florian thinks he has fixed it. He says it's caused by this error in my journal:

There are two implementations of the workspace switcher (both the menu for vertical layouts and the thumbnail switcher for horizontal layouts): - the stand-alone workspace-indicator extension (shipped in gnome-shell-extensions, but not included in GNOME Classic by default) - a fork of that extensions that is included in the window-list extension (which is enabled by GNOME Classic) It simply looks like you have both extensions enabled.

The scratch build seems to work properly on gnome-shell, but in classic I figured the functionality would be the same: vertical drop down menu with labeled workspaces. This is not the case, classic still only gets a horizontal workspace selector without labels in the top bar, identical to the default one at the bottom.
Is this the desired functionality? IIRC classic mode would previously get a similar vertical drop down menu with labeled workspaces when the workspace-indicator extension was enabled.
See both screenshots.

(In reply to Michael Boisvert from comment #16) > Is this the desired functionality? Yes. Both switchers have been updated to either show a menu (as before) or a row of thumbnails. Which one is shown depends on the orientation of the workspace layout, not the extension that is used.

Being that's the case and we could get exception+ by EOD today, this could make it into 7.9. Testing of gnome-shell-extensions-3.28.1-14.el7 yielded expected results on both gnome-shell and shell-classic. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

Created attachment 1697835 [details] Screenshot Description of problem: The first time I click the workspace indicator in the bottom-left corner of the screen, it opens the workspace switcher popover mispositioned in the top-left corner of the screen. If I dismiss the menu by clicking on the workspace switcher again, then the workspace switcher no longer does anything: it is no longer possible to reopen the menu. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-3.28.3-24.el7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log into GNOME 2. Click the workspace indicator. Menu appears mispositioned. 3. Click it again. Menu disappears. 4. Click it again. Nothing happens. Actual results: The workspace indicator no longer does anything, all clicks are ignored until I sign out. Expected results: The workspace menu appears in the correct location.
