Bug Summary

When closing and then re-opening Floorp, any changes to workspaces will disappear, resetting back to the single default workspace. This issue only seems to occur when Container tabs are enabled, and if "Open previous windows and tabs" is unchecked.

If "Open previous windows and tabs" is checked, the same issue can be reproduced by opening a new window.

Reproduction Steps

1. Ensure Container tabs are enabled.
2. Ensure "Open previous windows and tabs" is unchecked.
3. Rename the default workspace.
4. Close the browser.
5. Open the browser.
6. Notice the workspace has reset back to 'default'.

Expected Behavior

Any changes to the workspaces should remain after closing/opening the browser.

Actual Behavior

The workspaces will fully reset, leaving only the default workspace in the default condition.

Just added some changes to this issue as I've found it is easier to reproduce when "Open previous windows and tabs" is unchecked. However, even if "Open previous windows and tabs" is checked, opening a new window seems to also load without any workspace changes.

Workspaces are not shared between windows. This is because they are tied to each window.

This means that if you do not restore a previously opened window, the workspace will be discarded

[villainous-j]

what a shame, as this essentially renders workspaces and their configurations useless in any multi-window browsing.

Hi there, I must say I agree with @villainous-j . This "workspaces" feature is useful only if Floorp saves our customizations of different workspaces without being tied to opened tabs. I don't need the browser to save my currently opened tabs, what I need is the isolation of miscellaneous websites in configured containers, set to always open in said containers. In contrast, I currently still use Firefox and the latest "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" since I can set specific websites to always open in a specific container. I miss the "grouping" feature that the "Workspaces" could bring if it would work as expected. There's definitely something to improve here I think @surapunoyousei and great work by the way ! ;)
