Description Domen Skamlic 2021-03-23 06:57:28 UTC

SUMMARY

Firefox opens on the last workspace it was closed, instead of the current workspace you are on. This does not seems to happen with other applications. Can reproduce everytime.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to workspace (2/3/4, basically other than 1)
2. Launch Firefox
3. Close it (CTRL+Q)
4. Switch to workspace 1
5. Launch Firefox

OBSERVED RESULT
Firefox got opened wrong workspace and the workspace got switched.

EXPECTED RESULT
Firefox should open on the current workspace.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon 5.21
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have not noticed this behavior with other applications.
