Fix GNOME Shell Extension ‘Put Windows’ Stopped Working in Ubuntu 18.04

18.04gnome-shellgnome-shell-extension

Presumably after an update to GNOME Shell, 'Put Windows' extension stopped working.

This was only discovered after trying to put a window into a corner (upper leftmost) of the screen using Super+7 (numeric keypad). The GNOME Shell Extension website – Installed extensions showed ERROR in the place where the extension is turned ON or OFF.

How can I fix this issue?


This was reported on the GNOME website with a support ticket and has been resolved.

Best Answer

After reporting the problem I got the following response from Gnome which has SOLVED the issue:

"Version 27 is now inactive and v26 is the most current version. Please check, that you are using v26"

So, I restarted gnome with AltF2r and then selected 3.26 as the Extension version to reinstall it.

The extension now works again as it should.
