Description Gábor Katona 2025-01-24 22:04:08 UTC

SUMMARY
When switching activities with the activity switcher sidebar, the activity will switch to the same desktop as the active desktop in the original activity instead of the originally active desktop on the new activity.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create to activities (A1 and A2) with two desktops (D1 and D2) on each. 
2. Start a program on A1-D1 and start another at A2-D2
3. Work with program at A2-D2. 
4. Switch to A1 with the activity switcher sidebar. 

OBSERVED RESULT
You will land at A1-D2, although originally A1-D1 was active

EXPECTED RESULT
Switching to A1 should arrive to the originally active desktop there, which is A1-D1.

sorry, wrong bug

Comment 3 Marco Martin 2025-01-27 15:42:42 UTC

can confirm the desktop is sometimes switched, sometimes not leading to inconsistency
