deleting desktop file with shift-del opens confirmation popup in wrong workspace
Issue Description
When I press shift-del to delete a file on the Desktop, and if a thunar window is open on another workspace, then the confirmation popup ("Are you sure...?") opens on the workspace containing the thunar window, not on the current workspace. This happens silently; the user feels like nothing happened after pressing shift-del. Switching to thunar's workspace reveals the popup.
If no thunar windows are open anywhere, then the confirmation popup opens in the center of the current workspace as expected.
Steps to Reproduce Issue
- Open a thunar window on workspace 1.
- Move to workspace 2.
- Shift delete a file on the desktop.
- Confirmation displays silently on workspace 1.
Expected Behavior
Confirmation should pop up on workspace 2.
Additional Information
Able to reproduce on three computers in my house running Arch Linux + XFCE. One of them has almost no customizations from the default config.
Able to confirm with another user in this forum topic.
