What is the unexpected behavior?

I've set my Vitals position in panel to 'left' however, for some reason, it suddenly becomes 'far left'.
edit: It occurs when system is rebooted!

Steps to reproduce the unexpected behavior.

I don't have a specific reason why this could be happening, but I have a lot of gnome extensions that almost clutters the topbar.
I'm using standard Ubuntu 23.04.

• workspace indicators (right side)
• Applications Menu (left side)
• Custom Hot Corners Extended (right side)
• Date Menu Formatter (center)
• Emoji Copy (right)
• Extensions List (right)
• Gnome clipboard (right)
• OpenWeather (center)
• Places Status Indicator (far left)
• Gesture Improvements (no ui)

When you say Left becomes Far Left, does the setting in Vitals actually get set to Far Left? Or is it just that Vitals in the menu bar is Far Left but in settings it is still Left?

I just tried setting my Vitals to Left and rebooted, and not only did settings stay set to Left, the vitals in the menu bar is still just Left.

The menu position is simply an integer value in an array/list. Each extension has the ability to insert itself or reposition itself in this list, which can push other extensions around.

I won't be able to install all of those extension and pinpoint which one is causing it (or conflicting) - but if you can narrow it down to 1 or 2 extensions that would be helpful.
