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 Paul Gozart 2020-02-21 17:29:44 UTC
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]: JS WARNING: [/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/dash-to-dock.github.com/docking.js 322]: reference to undefined property "viewSelector"
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.

"hasOverview": false was introduced with new classic mode.

Florian any thughts?

Comment 3 Florian Müllner 2020-02-24 23:40:11 UTC
https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=26723114 has a scratch-build to adjust dash-to-dock to the new classic mode.

Comment 10 Michael Boisvert 2020-06-03 14:25:57 UTC
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.

Comment 11 Tru Huynh 2020-07-07 13:20:06 UTC
any timeline for a release to public use?

Comment 12 jloscar 2020-07-22 18:19:33 UTC
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.
