OBSERVED RESULT
The applet stays the same showing all existing desktops (see screenshot).

The option says "shows only current screen". Screen refers to the physical screen and is different to "desktop" which refres to virtual desktops. The purpose of the applet is to switch between different virtual desktops (or activities).
