Unlike with X11, with Wayland the workspaces in gnome-shell reflect the actual state (currently visible windows) only if you have that particular workspace active. If you switch to a different workspace, the workspace preview immediately contains all windows present on that workspace. See the attached video and look at the workspaces preview side bar on the right side, when switching the workspaces up and down.

I'm not absolutely sure this is a bug, but it's weird that it happens only with Wayland and not with X11. Also, if this was a feature, it would be very weird that the behavior changes depending on which workspace is active.

Unfortunately gnome bugzilla has really low limit for file uploads, so I had to place the screencast here:

I'm not reproducing exactly what you describe, but I do see that the stacking order seems to change (ie a different thumbnail appears topmost in the preview) when switching workspaces.

Same issue here, even without any gnome-shell extensions installed. Running Gnome 3.20 on Fedora 24.

Pretty sure this is fixed in master
