Daniel, I think I added an inaccurate description and therefore you misunderstood me. You changes summary to "Activities overview window spread keeps windows on their original monitors instead of bringing them together onto one", but I talked about workspaces with available applications. Look at attached screenshot "Activities with marks.jpg". You can see what application from the primary monitor is shown on workspace previews, application form other monitors are not shown. And the option "Workspaces span displays" ("The current workspace includes additional displays") doesn't have any effect.
I think a correct summary: Workspaces include application from the primary display only even if to use "Workspaces span displays" option. ** Attachment added: "Activities with marks.jpg" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1829124/+attachment/5263895/+files/Activities%20with%20marks.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1829124 Title: Activities overview window spread keeps windows on their original monitors instead of bringing them together onto one Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: I can't see and manage applications on 2 of 3 monitors using Activities. For example I started different application on all 3 monitors and run Activities. You can see on attached "Activities.png" screenshot what only an application from the primary display is shown. I set "Workspaces span displays" option in GNOME Tweaks but this doesn't help. If to use "Multi monitors add-on" it allows to shown individual activities for each display, but can't collect all applications from all displays together. This produce a serious problem if only the primary monitor is on, but some application was opened on currently turned off monitor. No way to move it to currently working monitor.
