Description
I am working with several spaces / desktops in MacOS "Mission Control". The Keybase client used to change the active space/desktop to the one where the Keybase client is located when selecting any chat from the Keybase menu in the MacOS menu bar on top. Unfortunately Keybase stopped doing that a few releases ago.
Currently when I am on desktop X and Keybase is on desktop Z and I select a chat in the Keybase menu popup nothing happens... I need to manually switch desktops/spaces to the one with Keybase. I think this is some regression or change in MacOS APIs.
Would be wonderful to have that behavior restored where Keybase automatically goes to the right desktop/space on which it is located.
Noticed same behavior on several devices with several MacOS versions.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified. First reproduce the issue by opening a chat from the Keybase menu-bar popup while Keybase is in another macOS Mission Control space, then investigate the desktop-space switching behavior. Done means selecting a chat returns focus to the space containing Keybase on the reported macOS versions.
