Description

Before creating a new issue, see list of [known
issues](https://copyq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/known-issues.html).

**Describe the bug**

I have mentioned this issue before in #2064 . Another similar issue is #1886

I am using [Herbstluftwm](https://github.com/herbstluftwm/herbstluftwm) window manager

When I use the keybind `hc keybind $Mod-q spawn copyq toggle` to toggle ` copyq` from any workspace/tag, it only appears in the workspace/tag from where it was called the first time.

Say I started copyq from workspace 3. Then I move to workspace 4. Toggle copyq, then it still appears in workspace 3.

However, this behaviour is not shown when I have a _tray software_ open like [`stalonetray`](https://github.com/kolbusa/stalonetray)

I have attached a video of the issue.

I use `env COPYQ_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG copyq` to run `copyq`

**To Reproduce**
1. Toggle `copyq` in a workspace
2. Hide it
3. Toggle `copyq` in another workspace
4. `copyq` still opens in the workspace used in step `

**Expected behavior**
`copyq` should always appear in the current workspace

**Version, OS and Environment**
(Get details from `copyq version` command if possible.)
