Description of problem: If dynamic workspaces are disabled, I experience unexpected, ineffective behavior when using the overview to move windows between workspaces. I've observed that dragging an application's window from the main overview area to the desired workspace on the switcher fails. If I have dynamically created N workspaces before turning off dynamic workspaces, the window *may* drop into the Nth workspace. The window may also remain on the originating workspace. Windows on my secondary display can be assigned to any active workspace as a workaround - meaning, switching to that workspace and then dragging to the main overview area, instead of dragging onto the switcher. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Name : gnome-shell Version : 3.4.1 Release : 6.fc17 Architecture: x86_64 How reproducible: Turn off dynamic workspaces using gnome-tweak-tool (or other) and attempt to assign windows to new workspaces using the workspace switcher. Actual results: The overview does not allow proper interaction with workspaces that were not already created. Expected results: The workspace switcher can be used to assign windows to all available workspaces. Additional info: I've tested this with extensions initially, then with a fresh user account. Behavior is consistent between both.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '17'. 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 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 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 17'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 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 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. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
