New windows always show up in current workspace irrespective of window manager settings
New user here. I had posted a problem on the forum: https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=15551 After some discussion, I was advised to post a bug report here.
A summary of the problem: I have applications that run for a long time and that after some time create a new window with some log data or other results. What I want is that these windows are created in the same workspace as where the application is running. What I experience is that such windows are always created in the current workspace. The settings under Settings Manager > Window Manager Tweaks > Focus should be able to get the behavior that I want, as I was told. But no matter what I set there, newly created windows always show up in the current workspace.
The forum topic mentioned above contains some details including a small testcase that shows the problem.
