Application does not open in the same workspace when switched during loading

Question

If the workspace is switched while a program loads, its window will open in the newly-active workspace. Is there any way to change this?

I'd much prefer that the program open in the workspace it was originally launched from.

Answer 1

That's not configurable, but it may be a bug. I would report it if I were you. Launchpad.net is the place to do so.

Answer 2

By design, applications launch in the active workspace by default. In order to change this behaviour, you would need to set it to be bound to a workspace using the window rules plugin or a similar plugin.

It will load into the active workspace when the application window opens. This means if you are in workspace two, and you click the launcher in workspace 1, it will open in workspace 2.
