Public bug reported:

I have the Gnome "Places Status Indicator" extension installed.

Previously the 'Places' button would always appear to the right of
"Activities"

However since a few weeks ago, every now and then the "Places" button
appears to the left of the "Activities" button.

This is bad for two reasons:

* The desktop interface should be the same every time I log in. Being 
inconsistent and unpredictable makes for a bad user experience
* I have hot corners enabled. With the "Places" button on the left, if I try to 
click on "Places" but put my cursor too far up and left, the hot corner 
activates, so it's as if I clicked the "Activities" button. It's quite hard to 
click the Places button when it's on the left.


$ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 19.10
Release:        19.10


GNOME Shell 3.34.3

I originally reported this on the Gnome extensions repo, but they said I
should report it here.
