What happened?

I've put three tabs into split view and arranged them in a grid. I used the button to customize the grid layout to the way I wanted (one tab spread across the bottom, the other two side-by-side above it).

If Zen is closed and re-opened, this split view is reopened in its default grid layout (one tab vertical on the left, taking up 50% of the screen space horizontally, and the other two taking up the other 50%, stacked on top of eachother).

It would seem that Zen does not "remember" my layout and instead just sees the tab stack as "Oh, these are in split view, let's open them in split view" and just goes to default layout.

This happens on all my devices I've attempted this on, where one is an Intel-based Dell Laptop and the other a custom built AMD-based desktop. Both are, however, running the same desktop environment, that being Sway on Wayland, launched by SDDM greeter, on ArchLinux.
