RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jacob Hunt 2015-09-15 16:13:43 UTC 
Description of problem:

Users with multiple monitors cannot have a window list that shows applications open on all of their monitors. This is a big usability issue for gnome-shell vs what is available in gnome 2.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gnome-shell-extension-window-list-3.14.4-12.el7.noarch
Comment 1 Jacob Hunt 2015-09-15 16:15:26 UTC 
More details git log can be found here https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell-extensions/log/extensions/window-list/extension.js?id=a3f352d0c3cc4a84f9d3e89e5e012568b7ae18f3&showmsg=1
Comment 7 Bohdan Milar 2015-09-22 17:17:09 UTC 
Works now!

HW for test:
- ThinkPad T540p + external Samsung (HD) monitor connected via VGA (directly, no docking station).
- Internal display and external monitor were set as primary and secondary (no mirroring). Primary and secondary arranged horizontally first, then vertically.

Tested versions:
gnome-shell-3.14.4-29.el7.x86_64
gnome-shell-extension-window-list-3.14.4-14.el7.noarch

Tested archs:
- x86_64

Tested sessions:
- GNOME session
- GNOME Classic

Results:
- In the settings dialog for the Window List extension (gnome-shell-extension-prefs), there is a new checkbox "Show on all monitors".
- When the checkbox is checked, window list (bar/panel) with no window buttons (items) appears on secondary monitor.
- When a window is dragged from one display to the other, the relevant button disappears from the window list panel on source display and appears in the window list panel on destination display.
- In the "Switch system controls" list (ctrl+alt+tab), there are 2 items called "Window List".
Comment 8 Bohdan Milar 2015-09-23 08:46:21 UTC 
Works also with 2 monitors connected to docking station and even in 3-display setup (internal notebook display + 2 external monitors).
