Public bug reported:
When the defaults are left in the "Workspaces" preferences, everything
functions as expected. But when the options are reversed from the
defaults, the result is that the icon for the most recently opened app
on a workspace is missing from the dock.
Steps to reproduce:
Select "Dock Preferences" -> "Workspaces"
For "Pinned application dock icons" select "Display on all workspaces"
For "Unpinned application dock icons" select "Display unpinned apps only from
current workspace"
Apply the settings
Now open any app (like calculator). The app opens on the current
workspace, but its icon does not show in the dock. Now open another app
(like font viewer). It too opens on the current workspace but without
its icon appearing in the dock. However, the icon for the first app
(calculator) now shows in the dock. Repeating for a third app has the
same results (its icon is missing from the dock), but now both the first
and second apps appear in the dock (calculator and font viewer).
This behavior continues with each new app opened. The most recently
opened app on the workspace is not displayed in the dock. Only n-1 app
icons on the current workspace are displayed. Switching to another
workspace and back will momentarily bring all app icons into the dock
for that workspace, but then the unexpected behavior continues when
further apps are opened. Setting the "Workspaces" preferences back to
default restores expected (but not desired) behavior.
This behavior was observed on an Ubuntu Mate 18.04.2 LTS system with
Mate Dock Applet 0.87 (GTK3)
