Trying to switch to a hidden tab opens that hidden tab in the current workspace

[swaroopanand10]

What happened?

Thanks for this great browser,

Here is the issue - If I am working in some workspace like workspace 1 and, When I try to switch to a hidden tab which is opened in some other workspace by clicking on that 'hidden tab' or through 'vimium plugin searching functionality', then that 'hidden tab' is opened in the current workspace instead of switching to the workspace who originally owned the tab.

I don't know if this is an intended behavior or a bug, but I think a sensible approach is to switch to the respective workspace on which that 'hidden tab ' is originally opened, instead of opening that 'hidden tab' again in current workspace.

This bug is not present on original firefox.

See this video for demonstration

In this video, There is a tab containing "github page for zen browser" on a "workspace named trial" , and when I go to the "default workspace" and try to switch to the hidden tab of that github page, then it opens on the current aka "default workspace" instead of switching on the workspace named 'trial'.

Thank you for reading this
