[Multi Monitor] Very Small Thumbnails On Primary Monitor

This is what the thumbnails look like on my primary (laptop built-in) display (1920x1080): primary

And this is what it looks like on my secondary (HDMI monitor) (1920x1200) secondary

So on my primary display the thumbnails only use 4.4% of the screen height, which renders them pretty much unusable, while on my secondary display with 19.8% they look very much like those from pre-40 GNOME.

I just noticed, if I disable and then re-enable the extension through https://extensions.gnome.org/local/ the thumbnails are normal-sized on both displays. If I then restart GNOME shell (Xorg) using [Alt]+[F2], [r], [Enter] it again looks like in the screenshots above.

Same problem here, hope to fix it.

This is not a pretty workaround though.

Similar experience here, hence not raising new issue.

  • Rectangle where workspace previews are placed is sized roughly 1% of screen size vertically and 100% horizontally (instead of about 90%V / 10% H),
  • actual workspace preview is 1% both sizes instead of about 10% both sizes.

Similar to other commenters, restarting the extension fixes the issue while restarting xorg recreates it.
