after the most recent updates, I find the only way I can switch workspaces is by clicking on the Workspace Switcher in my dock. The keyboard shortcuts for window management (maximising, moving workspaces, etc) don't work despite showing up in keyboard shortcuts. Even clicking on a dock icon for a window in another workspace no longer moves me.
I can still use other keyboard shortcuts such as opening terminals, and alt+tab still works within a workspace.
