Description Mathieu Bridon 2013-11-25 04:28:50 UTC
I have the following multi-monitor setup:

  * two screens, one primary, one secondary
  * virtual workspaces only on the primary monitor (the default)

This morning, I launched Liferea, and it opened on the secondary monitor.

Note: There was only one virtual workspace at the time (plus the empty one that is always present)

I tried moving it:

  * to the primary monitor
  * to a new workspace, by dragging and dropping the Liferea window thumbnail directly above the current/first workspace

The important point (I guess) is that I tried to do the above two points in only one drag and drop.

That seems to have confused GNOME Shell, and it crashed when I tried to move to that new first workspace.

I can reproduce it.

For me it either
1) does not work (the window isn't moved and just stays)
or
2) makes Shell crash

This happens when I move windows from secondary to a new desktop on primary.
