[Bug 1885529] Re: Gnome "Activities" button in inconsistent location

 

It appears that extension comes from the 'gnome-shell-extensions' source
package. So the correct locations to report bugs for it are where you
already did and at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-
extensions so I am moving this bug there...

Worth noting however that Ubuntu 19.10 is reaching end of life in July
(very soon). You should not expect any more updates or fixes. Please
install Ubuntu 20.04 instead. If you continue to experience the problem
in Ubuntu 20.04 then let us know.

Title:
  Gnome "Activities" button in inconsistent location when the Places
  menu is enabled

Status in gnome-shell-extensions package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I have the Gnome "Places Status Indicator" extension installed.

  Previously the 'Places' button would always appear to the right of
  "Activities"

  However since a few weeks ago, every now and then the "Places" button
  appears to the left of the "Activities" button.

  This is bad for two reasons:

  * The desktop interface should be the same every time I log in. Being inconsistent and unpredictable makes for a bad user experience
  * I have hot corners enabled. With the "Places" button on the left, if I try to click on "Places" but put my cursor too far up and left, the hot corner activates, so it's as if I clicked the "Activities" button. It's quite hard to click the Places button when it's on the left.

  
  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 19.10
  Release:	19.10

  
  GNOME Shell 3.34.3

  I originally reported this on the Gnome extensions repo, but they said
  I should report it here.
