Description of problem:
The new '"hasOverview": false' feature is causing errors in gnome extensions. For example...
In RHEL 7.8
- login as gnome session and gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-dock will load and is usable
- login as gnome classic session and extension gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-dock fails to load.
If I force downgrade gnome-classic-session-3.28.1-11.el7.noarch.rpm to gnome-classic-session-3.28.1-7.el7.noarch.rpm it appears again.
Something has been modified in gnome-classic-session which prevents this extension from loading.
Lets have a look, the error does not throw up anything of use.

Feb 20 04:27:18 localhost.localdomain gnome-shell[5259]: Extension "dash-to-dock.github.com" had error: TypeError: Main.overview.viewSelector is undefined
Comparing old vs new bundles of gnome-classic-session we see the following.
Caused by this new "feature"
"hasOverview": false
Changing this to true an dash to dock loads again.
This has been working through all releases of 7x, this is a regression.

I can reproduce the errors outlined in the summary on gnome-shell-extensions-3.28.1-12.el7. When upgrading to gnome-shell-extensions-3.28.1-13.el7, you can now use the dash-to-dock extension on the new classic mode. The new functionality is good too, the show overview button on the dock is missing when '"hasOverview": false' and is present on the dock when overview is enabled.
When getting this case from Paul (the TAM before me), I had issues getting a hold of the test packages.
I have a ticket in to get access to it, so in the meantime if there is anything I can pass on to my customer that would be helpful?
A release date or beta package to test?

If you have access to that, those are the rpms that were tested by me and will be released on August 11th.
