### Description

On previous versions of DMS, the top bar would always show every workspace. All 10, even if only one was in use. As of recently (I don't know what version, I upgraded yesterday after not upgrading for a couple of weeks), it only shows the workspace currently in use. I would like it to show every workspace.

### Solutions Tried

The only option regarding this I could find is "workspace padding", which only shows 3 workspaces at a minimum.

### Configuration Details

Research direction

Reproduce the workspace display issue on MangoWC using the reported DMS v1.5.0 setup and run `dms doctor -vC` to confirm the environment. Trace the top-bar workspace display behavior; done means all 10 workspaces are shown again, including unused ones.
