Application launches in incorrect workspace #6885

Open ritiek opened 7 years ago

Issue

Opening a GUI application and then changing the workspace before the application actually shows up makes the application open in the new workspace rather than in the old workspace.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open any GUI application.
  2. Change the workspace ctrl+alt+→ before the application actually shows up.
  3. The application shows up in the new workspace.

Expected behaviour

The application should open in the old workspace instead of new workspace.

I think this depends on the application: LibreOffice and Pix open in old workspace Firefox opens on new workspace Gimp switches you automatically back to the old workspace

You're correct. I only played with a few apps, they all opened in new workspace but I can confirm your results after some more testing.

Is it possible to modify this behavior for all apps? I want them to open in old workspace by default.
