Thanks for a bug report. When I revert a change for this gnome-tweaks bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786311 then the things will start working. The bug mentions changes in gnome-shell, thus maybe the gnome-shell (or mutter) version being used doesn't correspond to expected keys used by gnome-tweaks. I can revert the upstream fix, but I'm afraid it'll regress in the future, once gnome-shell/mutter are updated to the "patched" versions. Just patching gnome-shell/mutter may break some other things, thus I'm not sure what to do. By the way, what are your gnome-shell and mutter versions, please? The latest in git is 3.32.2-4 for gnome-shell and 3.32.2-5 for mutter. gnome-shell-3.32.2-4.el8.x86_64 mutter-3.32.2-4.el8.x86_64 gnome-shell-3.32.2-4.el8.x86_64 mutter-3.32.2-4.el8.x86_64 I can update mutter to latest if required I do not know yet, both have plenty of patches. I'm not a developer of any of the two, I've no idea what they do, either good or bad. Florian, could you confirm whether the above mentioned (comment #1) upstream fix should be reverted in gnome-tweaks for the RHEL8, please? Side comment, I updated mutter to -5, tried to reproduce again but it looks and switching to "Workspaces span displays has no effect", not even after session reset. I was wondering, that it might be because I overided the option via gsettings, not sure though....

I'm sorry, I do not follow the above formulation. > I was wondering, that it might be because I overided the option via > gsettings, not sure though.... You can remove the user setting by: $ gsetting reset org.gnome.mutter workspaces-only-on-primary Sorry I forgot about tweaks. This is due to a change how mutter/gnome-shell handle non-gnome/gnome/classic specific defaults. (In reply to Milan Crha from comment #5) > Florian, could you confirm whether the above mentioned (comment #1) upstream > fix should be reverted in gnome-tweaks for the RHEL8, please? My preferred option would be to cherry-pick the corresponding upstream fix instead: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-tweaks/merge_requests/9 (In reply to Florian Müllner from comment #8) > My preferred option would be to cherry-pick the corresponding upstream fix > instead: > > https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-tweaks/merge_requests/9 Thanks for the explanation and the pointer.
