Terminal jumps to another display on multi-monitor setup

[wildwestrom]

I think the title of this issue is pretty self-explanatory.

When I run swayhide somethingsomething, after I close the program I just ran, the terminal from which the program was originally spawned jumps to a different monitor than the one I'm focused on. This happens on either monitor, i.e. it will jump to the second one.

I'm not sure what would happen on a three-monitor setup.

Ok, I built the program myself, but after testing both the master and AUR versions, they both don't have this bug. Strange... Will see if I can reproduce consistently.

Unfortunately this is a limitation of the current implementation. I'm experimenting with alternative solutions, but nothing successful so far.

It might be possible to add a secondary swallowing method, utilizing tabs instead of moving the window to the scratchpad. I think that that solution would keep the window from moving, but might come with other drawbacks. Do you think this could be useful to you?

I assume the same limitations also cause the terminal to show up again in the wrong workspace, at least that is what I observe on my setup:

If not already the case, perhaps swayhide could mark the hidden window not only with a unique identifier but also with the workspace number it came from, so that it can be returned to it later with a move container to workspace xx? I use this in my Sway config to set keybindings to (1) mark a window and move it to the scratchpad, and (2) bring just that window back to the current workspace (I have 10 different marks, the below example is just for the 1-key). If a more complex mark could be set, I suppose we could use extra swaymsg commands to make sure the window is returned to its original state.

bindsym $mod+Ctrl+1 mark "scratch1", move scratchpad
bindsym $mod+mod1+1 [con_mark="scratch1"] scratchpad show

Could we use the same system to mark not only windows indentifiers but also which is the active workspace when swayhide is invoked?
