Bug description

When the Workspace switcher's "Type of display" is set to "Simple buttons", active windows on each workspace are indicated by a lighter gray. This indication persists after going into Expo and moving the window(s) from that workspace, and then leaving Expo.

Steps to reproduce

• set Workspace switcher's "Type of display" to "Simple buttons"
• for example, go to Workspace 2
• open Nemo
• go to Workspace 1
• open Expo
• move Nemo to Workspace 1
• focus Workspace 1, leaving Expo

Expected behavior

The indicator should update properly and show an empty workspace.

@SchokiCoder The solution is simple: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/pull/12810/files
You can make changes yourself (with root rights) while waiting for the patch to merge.

Uh hi.
Currently on Cinnamon 6.6.6, and it doesn't work again or still.

[claudiux]

Yes it works well.

Beware: when a window is maximized, only its icon appears in this workspace applet.

Reminder:

When the Workspace switcher's "Type of display" is set to "Simple buttons"

"Simple buttons" doesn't show icons anyway.

In this case, it doesn't work.

Do we reopen the issue or should I make a new one?
