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 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

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.

Still a problem. Sadly, we've run out of time to fix it for 7.0. Moving to 7.1

*** Bug 1099914 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Still an issue in GNOME-3.14.

Not reproducible with Terminal, always reproducible with Files.

Still reproducible with gnome-shell-3.26.2-5
Firefox only, Files do not spawn New Window by dragging.

No longer reproducible with gnome-shell-3.28.2-1.el7.x86_64 Closing.

Oh, actually still reproducible with Firefox as c#11 states. Sorry, reopening.

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.

After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.
