1803243 - [KDE] Window switched to current virtual desktop when opening a link

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect, P3)

Description

[Benjamin Reigner]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:108.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/108.0

Steps to reproduce:

On Linux running KDE as my DE, whenever I am on a virtual desktop and I click on a link in an app (say on desktop 1), it will bring firefox from (say desktop 2) to the current virtual desktop I am on (desktop 1 here).

Actual results:

The window switches to the current virtual desktop.

Expected results:

The window should've stayed on the virtual desktop it was on at the beginning.
It didn't act like that before, I am not sure if it's a bug or if it is intended but I find it kind of frustrating because I find myself really making use of these different desktops efficiently and this gets in the way.
If it is intended, I'd really hope that a toggle gets added to the settings so that users can have the choice to have this behavior or not.

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Is there any information about this bug? With it, Firefox becomes unusable and I have to stay on version 107 for a year now

I'd need to know which commit changed it.
There's a tool mozregression (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Firefox_problems#Use_Mozregression_tool) but I'm not sure it can be used witch system integration bug you see.
