Workspace is no longer launching but is still displayed

[Laura Czajkowski]

I've 4 workspaces enabled.

on the side launcher I can see the workspace icon - Clicking on the icon I'd expect it to display the 4 work spaces so I can then navigate to them. This doesn't happen. Nothing happens.

I used to be able to ctlr+alt and up down left right arrows navigate my way to different work spaces now nothing happens.

Work spaces is enabled

Hi Laura,

I cannot reproduce this issue on my fully updated Saucy machine. I wonder if the Wall plugin somehow got disabled.

Could please open up CCSM and see if the Wall plugin is enabled?

Thanks!

plugin looks disabled but when you click it to enable it screen goes black and unresponsive and needs to be hard rebooted. attaching two images to show you
