Windows are not restored to the correct desktop (space) on MacOS Sonoma 14.5 (23F79)

[neonihil]

Description of the bug

When closing/reopening SublimeText all windows are reopened on the current desktop (space) instead of the space they were in originally. Basically all windows are collected to the space where Sublime is opened.

This behaviour is different from what I experience on Ventura and previous versions, where Sublime Text windows are reopened onto the exact same spaces they were in at the time of closing the application.

The application is closed gracefully (CMD+Q).

Steps to reproduce

1. Start ST
2. Open two projects (or use any method to have more than one ST Window)
3. Move one of the Sublime windows to a different desktop
4. Quit ST(CMD+Q)
5. Re-open SublimeText
6. Both windows are opened on the same desktop

Expected behavior

Windows should be opened on the desktop they last were on

Actual behavior

All windows are opened on the current desktop

Do you have the "remember_workspace" setting enabled?

[neonihil]

Yes, I do. I have this in my Preferences.sublime-settings.

"remember_workspace": true,

I also tried to add this to the user preferences too, but behaviour is the same. Windows are always restored to the same desktop. Sublime Merge also behaves in the same way.

Window restoration has been working well for a long time. I only noticed it breaking about a month earlier than I created this issue.

I suspect that a recent updates (maybe on the macos side) might be the culprit.

Can I enable some special logging to provide you information about the startup?

[BenjaminSchaaf]

I'm able to reproduce this but only on 14.5. This is certainly a regression introduced by Apple.

[neonihil]

I have tested it with a "virgin" Sublime (ie: by removing the ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text folder) on 14.5, and it's still reproducible. This is ruling out any interference from plugins / settings.

I was wondering if a fix was coming to this issue any time soon?

Anybody has any experience with Tahoe?
