Spaces getting renamed and overwriting other spaces #26

Open nahall opened 4 years ago

I'm currently running spaces 1.1.3 and Chrome 79. The past couple versions of spaces I've been noticing a major problem with spaces. The "active space" for a window will sometimes take on the name of another space and overwrite it somehow.

I'm not sure exactly how this is happening but I can see right now that every window I have open now (I have like 15 open) has the name of another open space if I click the Spaces icon in the upper right corner of chrome. So if I were to click that in any open window, they would all have the same name. However, if I go to Manage Spaces and look at the list of Open spaces, only one of the windows has the name and the other windows are called Unnamed window or have a different name. So there is some sort of disconnect where Spaces thinks this window is named something in one section and something else in another.

A few minutes ago I created a new window and clicked that Spaces extension icon in the upper left and it has the wrong name instead of Unnamed window.

But then I closed that new window and did a few things and opened a new window, and now that new window shows Unnamed window and all the other windows show the proper Spaces name!

I'm not sure why that is happening, but I suspect that if I create a new window and do some things in it, and it renames itself to another space and then I close it, Spaces overwrites one of its spaces with this one.

Let me know if you have an idea of how to debug this as I'm fine with loading a test branch if it could make a log to trace what's going on. This is easily reproducible for me, which unfortunately is making it so I can't really use Spaces right now as I worry about losing existing spaces. Thanks.
