What happened?

When opening a new window using the ctrl+n shortcut, it doesn't use the default container tab for the workspace, however creating a new tab in that window follows the default container tab for the workspace.

Reproducible?

• [X] I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.

@mauro-balades, the user @juampivallejo has confirmed that the issue with the ctrl+n shortcut not opening a new window with the default container tab is still happening on version 1.0.1-a.19. Could you please assist them with this issue?

Also happens with MacOS version 1.0.1-a.22 Another bug that might be related with this issue is that I can NO LONGER open a container tab that is set as the default container of a workspace. For example, let's say I have a Work workspace and I set its default container to be work container, I could no longer open a new work container inside the Work workspace.

I am on Windows 1.7.6b (Firefox 135.0) (64-bit) and this bug is still occurring for me.

when opening a new window and visiting a website, it now uses the default container for the workspace.

I am using version 1.8.2b

Thanks!

[RealVishy]

false alarm, it only did that because i had specified a container for that website for it to always use, if you use a website that doesn't have an "always open in x container" thing set, it still opens without a container.
