Describe the bug

I have mentioned this issue before in #2064 . Another similar issue is #1886

I am using Herbstluftwm window manager

When I use the keybind hc keybind $Mod-q spawn copyq toggle to toggle copyq from any workspace/tag, it only appears in the workspace/tag from where it was called the first time.

Say I started copyq from workspace 3. Then I move to workspace 4. Toggle copyq, then it still appears in workspace 3.

However, this behaviour is not shown when I have a tray software open like stalonetray

I have attached a video of the issue.

I use env COPYQ_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG copyq to run copyq

To Reproduce

  1. Toggle copyq in a workspace
  2. Hide it
  3. Toggle copyq in another workspace
  4. copyq still opens in the workspace used in step `

Expected behavior copyq should always appear in the current workspace

Version, OS and Environment (Get details from copyq version command if possible.)

This may be tangential but my alternate solution for this in KDE to make CopyQ open in all workspaces simultaneously: image
