Description

Toggling a special workspace on a different monitor than where it was initially toggled doesn't show the app on the correct display.

How to reproduce

workspace=special:scratchpad, on-created-empty:pomotroid
bind=SUPER,code:49,togglespecialworkspace,scratchpad

I have 3 displays, DP-1/2/3.

When on DP-1: When I press the shortcut, the app launches correctly on DP-1 and it responds to clicks and stuff. When I press the shortcut again the app disappears correctly.

However when I focus DP-2 and now press the shortcut, it dims DP-2 but the app appears on DP-1 again. I cannot interact with the app on DP-1 now.

I'd expect the app to appear on DP-2 this time and be able to interact with it.

I have no other special rules configured for said app.

Ideally, I want the special workspace to always show on DP-1. I've tried adding monitor:DP-1 to the workspace rule but that doesn't seem to have any effect.

is pomotroid floating?

[krims0n32]

Yes.

[vaxerski]

well you can tile it then for a temporary fix, I guess.

[krims0n32]

Pomotroid is a shitty electron app apparently, I couldn't get it tiled.

Now using another app that can be pseudotiled. Good workaround.

I have the problem too, I have two monitors， put the alacritty in a spcial workspace and encountered the exact same behavior.

I would also like to be able to "fix" a special workspace to a specific monitor. I am not sure if it is supported sth like this doesn't work workspace=special:test,monitor:DP-1
