Space renaming can affect the wrong monitor if the number of spaces is the same #63

When I change the name of my Desktop #2 Space, it doesn't reflect on my second desktop, and instead, the change is reflected on Desktop #1. Then later reverts back to Desktop #1, but Desktop #2 remains unchanged.

I can’t tel from your image for sure, do both Desktops have the same number of spaces?

I am also experiencing a similar issue with multiple desktops. I have the same number of spaces on both desktops.

From what I can tell, spaces-renamer works fine on Desktop 1, but Desktop 2 does not. The names do not persist and get swapped up pretty randomly.

@jayholly what macOS version are you running? I can't repro this unfortunately, which makes it hard to debug.

@itsrainingdata this is a known issue. The way it works is when you open up the spaces screen it hooks into the UI and changing them. When the UI opens though, it doesn't know which monitor it's modifying 😕. As a workaround, I recommend making sure the monitors have different numbers of spaces, or have a different primary one selected (though if the issue is still showing up, there might be an underlying bug).
