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 of problem:
There's a "master" switch for extensions in gnome-tweaks, when it is used to turn all extensions back on in the new fresh instance of Tweaks, it fails to show which extensions are enabled. For more see the reproducer.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-tweaks-3.28.1-6.el8.noarch
gnome-shell-extension-window-list-3.32.1-10.el8.noarch
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run Tweaks
2.Go to extensions and enable random extensions, or just only one
3.Use the "master" switch to disabled at extensions at once,
4.Close Tweaks
5.Run Tweaks
6.Enable all extensions via the same switch
Actual results:
The extensions are loaded, enabled but they are not listed as enabled in tweaks.
Workaround:
If you close Tweaks, run Tweaks again, extensions are listed properly.
Expected results:
Tweaks should refresh the extension list and show the proper state.
Additional info:
I know that extensions are being dropped upstream, but extensions in Tweaks will live further in RHEL8, so it would be nice to fix this. Especially if you consider, that several times when I was asked to debug something, the first thing I was asked was to turn of all extensions.
Thanks for a bug report. I see it's still broken in gnome-tweaks-3.34.0-2.fc32 and it seems like there's no upstream fix to backport (I checked opened merge requests too). I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to maintain a custom patch on top of an "upstream dead code", but if it'll be a simple fix, then it's fine. I'll let you know when I know more.
