Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Release: 20.04
gnome-tweak-tool:
  Installed: 3.34.0-2ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.34.0-2ubuntu1
  Version table:
*** 3.34.0-2ubuntu1 500
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Expected:

In the extensions section of gnome-tweak-tool you should be able to enable and disable preinstalled extensions i.e. Ubuntu appindicators, Ubuntu dock and Desktop icons.

What happens:

All preinstalled extensions appear disabled (despite not being) and the toggle switch next to them has not effect. Any extensions installed from extensions.gnome.org can be enabled and disabled using the toggle switch next to it.

Interestingly, the configuration icon for Desktop Icons when opened does appear to work!

Video attached showing Ubuntu dock not being disabled, but Openweather working fine. Also, Desktop Icons is shown with the configuration settings working.
