Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
     Using Activities menu of the gnome shell
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
     Pressing the Activities button (windows key)
   * What was the outcome of this action?
     The workspaces overview on the top won't display more than 20 workspaces
correctly. I am using 24 workspaces, and the last 4 workspaces are not shown
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
     In that the workspace overview displays 24 workspaces correctly

the workspaces overview in the gnome shell's Activities view won't display more
than 20 workspaces. I am using 24 workspaces, and the last 4 workspaces are not
shown.

I am using a screen resolution of 1920x1200 pixels.

Thank you for your kind attention.

Sincerely,

Adrian Kieß

Dear Maintainer,

the problem I described is still visible in Gnome.

I am using a screen resolution of 1920x1200 pixels.

Choosing more than 20 fixed screens in the Gnome Control Center,
the fixed screens numbered above 20 items won't appear in the main
overview window accessible with the Win-Key.

Thank you.

Adrian

Adrian,
In the future, please include the bug's title in the subject line when
sending emails to Debian bugs. Some people are subscribed to bugs for
many packages and it takes extra time to look up the bug description
when the subject line does not include that information.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
