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.

This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1613835

I am copying this bug because: 

The issue is affecting multiple releases of RHEL. Originally the issue was reported for RHEL7. But, I am able to reproduce the issue with RHEL8 and Fedora as well.

Description of problem:
While setting Window List under Extensions tab in tweak-tools, the setting will reset upon opening the window. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-tweaks-3.28.1-6.el8.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open gnome-tweak-tool.
2. Go to Extensions tab.
3. Open Window List setting (gear button).
4. Set Always group windows.
5. Close Window List window.
6. Open Window List setting (gear button) again.

Actual results:
Setting is back to Never group windows.

Expected results:
My setting gets saved/will not get reset upon opening the window.

Additional info:

Thanks for a bug report. gnome-tweaks just calls gnome-shell-extension-prefs for that giver extension, thus the preferences are handled by the respective extensions, as written in bug #1613835 comment #5. I'm moving this to gnome-shell-extensions. See the original bug for the patch and a reference to an upstream fix.

By the way, it's only a visual thing, the current setting doesn't change until the user clicks on any of the values.

On gnome-shell-extensions-3.32.1-11.el8, the setting stays no matter how many times you open the settings GUI.
