Description Christian (Fuchs) 2024-05-10 14:25:12 UTC 
SUMMARY
Thank you very much for the "organize windows in the grid view" option, it is crucial to me. 
However, it seems that in 6.0.4 it is buggy. If that checkbox is NOT ticket, only windows from the current virtual desktop are shown in the overview, windows on all other virtual desktops are hidden.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. uncheck "organize windows in the grid view"
2. have multiple virtual desktops, e.g. I have 6, split over two rows
3. open windows on various virtual desktops, then switch to one
4. open the overview effect

OBSERVED RESULT
Only windows from the current virtual desktop are shown in the grid, other virtual desktops are all empty

EXPECTED RESULT
All windows are shown

This bug is still present in 6.1 and basically makes the grid unusable, since you only see windows of one workspace.

Probably this would just need a trigger to show all windows, as the present windows effect does, which is not triggered if you don't check the "organize windows in the grid view" option.
