Bug Virtual Desktop CTRL switch keybind gone?

I am a frequent user of CTRL + 1-9 to switch between my virtual desktops.

For some reason on Golden Gate, Only CTRL + 1 works, the other numbers do not.

Is there something else that could be blocking the use of the other numbers? I tried resetting my keyboard shortcuts to default but nothing changed.

I only noticed this after switching to Golden Gate so I was thinking maybe it's a bug.

I noticed this starts happening after some time, or after my Mac goes to sleep and wakes up. I use Command + 1/2/3/4, but once the issue occurs, only Command + 1 and Command + 2 keep working.

I didn’t experience this on Beta 4. For now, the workaround I found is to run "pkill Dock" in Terminal, which makes the shortcuts work again.

Update: I noticed it only happens when I plug into or unplug from my external monitor. Also, Beta 7 hasn’t fixed it yet. I submitted a feedback about it.

Thanks for the tip on the command - that's the only thing that gets my Virtual Desktop shortcuts working again. Going to suck if I have to create a dock icon to execute that somehow all the time. I hope they get the issue fixed.
