Bug Description
Reproduction steps:
1. Configure the workspace switcher with several rows (I have 6 rows and 1 column, also tested with 6 rows and 2 columns). It might help if you put your panel on the left or right edge.
2. Enable or disable desktop effects in System-
Expected results:
The workspace switcher configuration stays the same.
Actual results:
The workspace switcher transposes the rows and columns, so I end up with e.g. 6 columns and 2 rows. If I switch the desktop effects back without changing anything, the workspace switcher regains its original settings; if I fix the workspace switcher to have the right number of rows and columns before I toggle the desktop effects again, the rows and columns are transposed again.
Also, if I leave the workspace switcher preferences open while I switch desktop effects, strange things happen to it: when enabling desktop effects, it loses all its widgets except for the Help and Close buttons, and when disabling desktop effects, it turns into the regular workspace switcher preferences dialog except without the option of setting the number of columns. I don't know if this part is an unrelated bug or not; I can refile or provide screenshots if needed.
