Windows don't stay in Spaces after a while #54
Comments
Hi, this might be due to the fact that on sleep the current version creates an additional transient dummy to alleviate some sleep issues that happen on some systems. This might not be needed for all macs so in an upcoming version I'll make this fix optional. I can get put together a test build that has this setting if you'd like so you can report back if it works or not (it might break sleep or might not and fix this issue instead :)). |
Ahhh, maybe! Can the sleep dummy just have the all the spaces creates in it instead of (I'm assuming) just one space that forces all the windows to collapse back to the first space? If so you can just keep the sleep fix. |
Well if you didn't enable |
Hm, I didn't have it enabled before, but I'll try enabling it now and seeing whether that affects the behavior. So far if I manually put the OS to sleep and then wake immediately I can see the disconnect (the screen resolution pops from the old res. to the new one upon unlock), but the windows are staying put. I do know that there's multiple levels of sleep in macOS, and I wonder if it's the longer one that's triggering the removal of spaces. |
If the problem is related that maybe in a deeper sleep phase virtual displays such as the dummy are forcefully shut down by the OS then we might not do anything about this issue. Thanks for the inputs regarding this. |

I consolidated the sleep issues into a single issue: #76. I'll close this one as a duplicate for now. Let's continue the discussion under the new issue. Thank you! |
Config:
I'm noticing that after letting the computer sleep for a while—maybe 10 min. or so—the windows that I've assigned to specific Spaces & desktops (or that I've just dragged there) all go back to the first Space, but in the right x-y positions on the screen. Feels like a bug with macOS and how Spaces interact + get saved with external displays, and admittedly somewhat of an edge case.
