Description Ken Dreyer 2015-04-08 16:45:59 UTC
Description of problem:
In my panel I have the "workspace switcher" item. In Fedora 20 I used to be able to scroll my mouse wheel up and down on this item to wrap from the last workspace to the first one and vice versa. This functionality is gone in Fedora 22. I can still use my mouse wheel on the panel to switch work spaces, but it stops at the last (or first) and no longer wraps around.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xfce4-panel-4.12.0-3.fc22.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start with an XFCE environment with a panel and multiple workspaces.
2. In XFCE's Settings, select the "Windows Manager Tweaks" settings.
3. Click the "Workspaces" tab.
4. Ensure "Wrap workspaces when the first or last workspace is reached" box is checked.
5. Add a "workplace switcher" item to your XFCE panel.
6. Move your scroll wheel up or down while hovering over the workspace switcher item in the panel.

Actual results:
The XFCE desktop cycles through each workspace and ends on the final workspace. It doesn't wrap around to the first.

Expected results:
The XFCE desktop should continue to wrap around to the first workspace and cycle through the workspaces a second time.

Reproducible for me. 
Are you sure the wrapper has worked in the switcher plugin of a prior Xfce?

Yes, I would use this feature quite often.

Comment 3 Kevin Fenzi 2015-04-08 21:33:09 UTC
I definitely see this here too. ;( 

Would you care to file this upstream at bugzilla.xfce.org ? Or would you like me to do so?

Comment 4 Mukundan Ragavan 2015-04-08 23:39:00 UTC
Shouldn't this be against xfwm4?

Comment 5 Mukundan Ragavan 2015-04-08 23:39:37 UTC
Also, I found this ancient bug report on xfce bugzilla.

Comment 6 Mukundan Ragavan 2015-04-08 23:43:34 UTC
Reported upstream against 4.12

Well, it could be in either... it might be xfwm4 isn't setting the right thing to make the workspaces plugin do the right thing here, or it could be the workspaces plugin isn't working right despite the setting being set correctly. ;)

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 13:40:18 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
