Title: Mutter upsteam bug: cannot overwrite workspaces layout Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Running up-to-date Ubuntu Cosmic. Since I am running a version with manually applied patched from below, I couldn't use the ubuntu-bug helper. Bug: When using GNOME extension “Workspace grid” that arranges workspaces in a grid, one can find that horizontal switch animation is replaced with a vertical one. This is caused by a bug in mutter itself, it's acknowledged and fixed in upsteam. Applying the patch for the current version in Ubuntu solves the issue as well. GIFs of the issue could be found here: https://medium.com/@hkdb/patch- gnome-3-30-for-workspace-grid-1ee8b1dd92f9. Upstream bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/270. Upsteam fix: https://gitlab.gnome.org/rmyorston/mutter/commit/97a3a9b24b36111155003467d5fac6bb1ec1c60e (merged into master 3 months ago). The patch to fix is, literally, adding 1 meaningful line: From 86a719cc78149b7db189ff7e5d1f16418d257e9e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ron Yorston <r...@pobox.com> Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2018 12:47:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Allow workspace layout to be overridden meta_workspace_manager_override_workspace_layout is implemented by calling meta_workspace_manager_update_workspace_layout which respects the workspace_layout_overridden flag. After the first call to meta_workspace_manager_override_workspace_layout all subsequent calls fail silently. Reset workspace_layout_overridden to FALSE before calling meta_workspace_manager_update_workspace_layout.
