                        automatically activates on startup
PaperWM extension is always active on startup even if it was deactivated before shutting down. OS: Debian 10 buster Kernel: x86_64 Linux 4.19.0-8-amd64 Shell: bash 5.0.3 DE: GNOME WM: GNOME Shell
That's strange and an upstream bug almost by definition. I'd use the big guns and remove the $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/paperwm@hedning:matrix.org directory/symlink.
deleted $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/paperwm@hedning:matrix.org logout / login paperwm is not active but also no longer in the extensions list reinstalled using install.sh paperwm installed successfully and activated deactivated paperwm logged out / logged in paperwm is once again active upon logging in.
gnome-shell version?
They have changed how to enable extensions programmatically around a bit.
You could try to install manually (simply copy the paperwm folder to $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/paperwm@hedning:matrix.org/. A restart is usually required for gnome to find the extension)
Noting this issue is older, is this still happening for anyone? I haven't been able to reproduce this (and haven't seen this happen).
Closing as no responses confirming this is still impacting anyone after a month.
