Upper-right preview of workspaces seems broken

[DavidCdeB]

Thanks for this great tool. However, I have noticed the following issue:

1. The computer starts from a fresh restart.
2. In this video, I'm pointing with the mouse to the upper-right workspaces preview - this preview is somehow broken:

3. It is only by disabling and enabling back again the extension that the preview goes back to normal, as shown in the rest of the video.

Is there a way to solve this? Many thanks

I'm having trouble reproducing this issue. Could you give me some info about your setup? Stuff like gnome-version, other extensions, wayland/xorg, Any settings for this extension that might be relevant.

@RensAlthuis Thanks for the feedback. Please find below:

$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 40.4

$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
x11

Also, if I go to Settings > About > Windowing System, it reads X11

As mentioned earlier, this problem can only be reproduced if just after restarting the computer (please, do a restart), the very first thing you before anything else is to hit the Windows key and you'll see the workspace preview is not properly shown.

• would you be so kind to test precisely this? Thanks again.

@DavidCdeB Still can't get this to happen. Though whenever I log in it starts with the overview opened already. Did you disable that somehow?

[DavidCdeB]

@RensAlthuis Thanks. I haven't disabled anything.... In the Extensions app, I can find the Vertical Overview. I have pasted (below) the current (default, I've not changed anything on that end) settings.

In this Extensions app, there is the option of disabling Vertical Overview. If you excuse me, let me also stress what was said in the first post:

It is only by disabling and enabling back again the extension that the preview goes back to normal, as shown in the rest of the video.

Restarting the GNOME Shell (in my case by pressing Alt + F2, then hitr and then hitting Enter) still does not properly show the preview.

Just two more things I'd like to check (sorry 😅). First, you don't happen to have any other extensions enabled or a shell theme perhaps? Second, how did you install the extension, from GitHub or though the extension site?

@RensAlthuis Thanks.

Second, how did you install the extension, from GitHub or though the extension site?

I installed it from GitHub

First, you don't happen to have any other extensions enabled or a shell theme perhaps?

I'm not sure if this Tweaks screenshot answers your question regarding the shell theme:

There are other extensions installed:

Having the same problem. It seems to be an incompatibility with "Dash to Panel" regardless of enabling the "Dash to Panel left/right fix" option.

Debian testing - X11 - GNOME Shell 40.4 - No Theme Extension from github

This seems to be the same issue as #56 and #59. When Dash to Dock or Panel is loaded after Vertical Overview ThumbnailsBox on the primary monitor gets stretched like visible in the video.
