Description Vitezslav Humpa 2013-05-03 10:30:03 UTC 
Description of problem:
Whenever trying to open an app or its new window by dragging dash icon to a different than active workspace, the window opens in current window instead.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.8.1-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I.e.
1. Be in the 'first' workspace
2. Drag any app's icon from dash to the next workspace
  
Actual results:
Window opens in the current, first workspace. If the other workspace was an empty (last) one it will move away and get restored during.

Expected results:
Window opens in the workspace we dragged the icon onto.

Which application have you tried this with ? classic mode or not ?

It works fine for me with rhythmbox

Example screen-casting
Comment 3 Vitezslav Humpa 2013-05-09 11:47:47 UTC 
Was happening with all apps when I was reporting. Now is a case of some apps, notably Nautilus and Firefox. Whether I am running a classic mode or not has no influence.
Comment 5 Matthias Clasen 2014-03-03 20:47:00 UTC 
Still a problem. Sadly, we've run out of time to fix it for 7.0. Moving to 7.1

Comment 9 Michal Domonkos 2015-05-15 13:01:38 UTC 
Still an issue in GNOME-3.14.
Comment 10 Michal Domonkos 2015-05-25 12:41:55 UTC 
Not reproducible with Terminal, always reproducible with Files.
Comment 11 Michal Odehnal 2018-05-16 12:52:11 UTC 
Still reproducible with gnome-shell-3.26.2-5
Firefox only, Files do not spawn New Window by dragging.
Comment 12 Vitezslav Humpa 2018-06-28 14:06:16 UTC 
No longer reproducible with gnome-shell-3.28.2-1.el7.x86_64 Closing.
Comment 13 Vitezslav Humpa 2018-06-28 14:08:08 UTC 
Oh, actually still reproducible with Firefox as c#11 states. Sorry, reopening.
Comment 14 Brandon Nielsen 2019-09-18 20:27:33 UTC 
This appears to be an issue with much newer versions of gnome-shell as well, reproducible with Files 100% of the time on Fedora 31, gnome-shell 3.34.0-1.
