I believe this is the same issue as reported upstream nathan818fr/cinnamon-back-to-monitor#3

Apart from this issue, which makes it unusable for modern Cinnamon/Mint installs, it is a great little extension! I've relied on it for a long time when I dock/undock my laptop to move between home -> train -> work. If possible, I'd love to see this functionality natively in Linux Mint!
