[SOLVED]Workspace Keybinds do not work

Hello,
I am running xfce 4.18 on Linux Mint 21.3 and certain workspace keybinds(Move active window to workspace #) do not work. If I edit them they work, until my system gets rebooted.
I have tried resetting them but that doesn't work either. I also looked at the config files but everything seems legit there as well. Any help for my issue would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [SOLVED]Workspace Keybinds do not work

Can you do the following? Log in and immediately change the keybinding then log out. On re-login, can you post back the contents of ~/.xsession-errors.old?

Also, when you say you edit the keybinds, are you using the Settings Manager > Window Manager > Keyboard interface?

And finally, can you post back:

ls -al ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml

Re: [SOLVED]Workspace Keybinds do not work

Yes I am editing the keybinds through the keyboard interface in Windows Manager.

Re: [SOLVED]Workspace Keybinds do not work

Everything looks good there. Looking through the bug tracker, it looks like this open bug report. There is a workaround in the last post on that bug report - it has to do with duplicate entries. Feel free to post in the bug report to bring it back to attention.
