Unsolved Start Page opens on workspace of OTHER window, when switching workspaces on the first window (same profile)

[dalinar]

I don't know the exact steps to replicate, but i have a feeling this is a somewhat common thing since it happens to me often.

basically i have 2 windows from the same profile open on separate monitors.

i change the workspace on one

then on the other window, on the current profile there, it opens a start page

so this means that now what is in the second window is immediately not visible, because it is now showing a start page tab.

note I have these set i don't know if any affects it

homepage = start page
open on startup = last session
lazy reload = checked and subcheckbox of it also checked

Example of what happens after a while (in the other window)

This also keeps happening every time I move one tab (or tab stack) from one window to another. I don't know how to fix it; I'm just giving more information on what seems to be the same root problem.

The browser seems to auto-spawn a new tab to fill the place of the one I moved. Vivaldi used to close a window if I moved the last tab to another window, but now it opens a start tab as if it were a lifeline to keep both windows open.

This has only been an issue since the last update.

homepage, open on startup, and lazy reload are all the same as dalinar's.

"Keep window open when last tab is closed"--this box is unchecked.

@dalinar @JustusFalcon FWIW, this issue has already been fixed in the snapshot branch.

It should be fixed for good once version 6.9 comes out.
