Hi again, sorry for the delay in responding.

I just installed Gnome Classic and the bug continues there. Tooltip is always the same when hovering with the mouse over any of the four work areas shown in the selector.

However, when looking at the preferences of the workspace selector, it says the number of workspaces is 1. When I increment this number in the preferences, the selector changes from a rectangle with four divisions in it to two rectangles, three, four, ... and then the tooltip on each of them shows properly the workspace number.

Well, this is confusing to me, so I made a series of screenshots to show what happens (see image attached).

Don't know whether it's worth filling another bug or just saying it here.

Anyway, as you said, I also think this is a minor flaw; maybe moving it to some kind of "Gnome Classic papercuts" category would help to remind it's still there in case someone wants to work on it. As you see fit :-)

Also, I don't know for how long this Gnome Classic will be maintained. Maybe it's better for people wanting to have a classic look to use Gnome Shell with the proper extensions? (didn't try to set it up this way, honestly).
