Description

Please also refer to this post: https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=56563#p56563

This is not really a workspace switcher problem but I couldn't see any other option in the bug category to choose. It is a problem specifically to do with managing workspaces in particular decrementing the number of workspaces.

If I have multiple workspaces open and have windows open in some of them sometimes I get a problem where if I delete an empty workspace all the workspaces are deleted and the windows in the other workspaces are collapsed into one workspace. If I try to go back into the workspace settings to try to increase the number of workspaces, the wizard does not let me increment the number of workspaces. If I close all the windows in that one workspace and then try to increment the number of workspaces then I am able to.
