Description of problem: This problem seems to appear only when using two monitors (laptop with monitor connected). When I drag&drop application to an empty workspace (in activities menu) this application starts on active (current) workspace instead. For example, when I have one workspace with application active. I go to activities drag&drop new app to empty workspace, new workspace is created on the bottom. But workspace, where I put app disappears and app is started on active (used) workspace. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-3.6.1-3.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to activities 2. drag&drop some app on empty workspace Actual results: application is started on the active workspace Expected results: application is started on workspace where I put it Additional info:
This is possibly a different bug, but I'm getting mixed results with dragging applications to non-current workspaces. Some applications work fine (e.g. gnome-terminal, xchat) - multiple instances can be opened on different workspaces by dragging from the dash. Other applications always open in active workspace (filezilla, hotot). Nautilus is an even odder case: the first instance of it opens on the expected workspace (the one that it's dragged to), but all subsequent attempts to create new nautilus windows on inactive workspaces will result in the new window being created and added to the active workspace.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
