Description Michael Catanzaro 2020-06-17 17:06:38 UTC

Description of problem: In RHEL 7.8, workspaces are supposed to be horizontal, not vertical. However, the workspace indicator is initially in vertical workspace mode until the screen is locked for the first time. After the first screen lock, the workspace switcher switches back to the expected horizontal layout mode.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mutter-3.28.3-22.el7_8


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log into desktop
2. Note workspace indicator says "1 / 4" (vertical workspaces)
3. Lock screen, unlock
4. Note workspace indicator now displays four horizontal workspace icons

Actual results: Vertical workspace indicator before first screen lock


Expected results: Horizontal workspace icons always


Additional info: After asking me to test a few things, Florian has found the problem.

On mutter-3.28.3-25.el7, the workspace indicator is now the correct horizontal 4 panel setup located on the bottom right of the screen.
