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 amit yadav 2020-11-25 16:44:00 UTC
Description of problem:

I am seeing two different behaviour with the gnome-shell-extension-workspace-indicator extension.

If I install the gnome-shell-extension-workspace-indicator extension from the RHEL7.9 optional repository(gnome-shell-extension-workspace-indicator.noarch rpm), it is showing a horizontal workspace on the upper panel of the screen.

If I install the same extension from the upstream using gnome-software, it is adding a drop down menu on the upper panel. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-extension-workspace-indicator-3.28.1-14.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install gnome-shell-extension-workspace-indicator on RHEL7.9 system
2. Enable the extension and check the status on the top panel.


Actual results:

This is showing a horizontal workspace, similar to that provided by the "gnome-shell-extension-horizontal-workspaces" extension. The only difference is that "gnome-shell-extension-horizontal-workspaces.noarch" adds horizontal workspaces on the lower panel. While "gnome-shell-extension-workspace-indicator.noarch" is adding a horizontal workspace on the top panel. It's not possible to add labels to these workspaces.


Expected results:
The "gnome-shell-extension-workspace-indicator.noarch" should provide workspace dropdown menu and allow us to add custom labels for the workspaces

Additional info:

The upstream version of "gnome-shell-extension-workspace-indicator.noarch" is providing drop down menus and allows to set custom labels for workspaces.

I have not tested it on RHEL7.8. But, possibly the issue started with RHEL7.8.

According to the https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1848058#c19 

"Yes. Both switchers have been updated to either show a menu (as before) or a row of thumbnails. Which one is shown depends on the orientation of the workspace layout, not the extension that is used." 

How can we change the orientation of the workspace layout? I have tried the latest packages from https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2020:3987 , But I am still seeing the same behaviour in gnome classic session.

As far as I know, it depends on the session choice you're using. Classic will have one, regular GNOME will have the other type. Not sure why the upstream version would be different.
