after the upgrade from F36 to F37 the extension DesktopCube does no longer work,
with results in no workspace switch at all if the correct keys are used.

The journal has this to report:

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 customercare 2023-05-06 19:01:58 UTC 
afaik from checking the code, 

The onSwitch()  does no longer supply the Binding Object:

function onSwitch(display, screen, window, binding) {
    new Cube(display, screen, window, binding);
}


var binding is undefined, which means, the hook inside the desktop api calling onSwitch() in the extension does not give any valid object or other type of variable to it.

Third party software isn't my problem to fix.
