I recently switched computers to a Mac Studio running Monterrey and rather than transferring apps/settings from my old Mac Mini, I set up the new machine and only brought over the things that mattered.
I'm seeing a very bizarre and annoying thing with my apps moving from the spaces they are supposed to be on as I wake up the Mac from sleep.
My current setup is a Mac Studio with 2 monitors. Both monitors have multiple spaces on them. I run a single app in each of the spaces to make the most use of the real estate.
My current setup is...
Display 1
Space 1 - Browser
Space 2 - Chatting app
Space 3 - Chatting app 2
Space 4 - Chatting app 3
Display 2
Space 1 - IDE
Space 2 - IDE 2
Space 3 - iTerm
Space 4 - DB browser
Space 5 - DB browser 2
Space 6 - Music player
Space 7 - Mail
Display 2 is my primary screen.
This was the same setup on my Mac Mini.
My mac is setup to turn the display off (go to sleep) after 15 mins of inactivity, same as before. After it goes to sleep and I return to it, I click on the trackpad or keyboard to wake it up and more often then not I find that the browser and chatting app from display 1 spaces 1 & 2 have now moved over to whatever space I happen to be on on display 2.
I then have to move the apps back to where they were supposed, this annoying me to no end.
In Mission Control, I have the option for "When switching to an application.." and "Displays have separate spaces" checked, the other 2 options are unchecked. I'm going to experiment with unchecking the first one and see if it does anything.
But in the meanwhile, does anyone else have this happen to them and if so, any insights on how to avoid this?
