Description
Hi
First, thanks for such a useful tool. It has notably improved my way of working. But a few weeks ago, it started to show a different behaviour, specially when I switch from one virtual desktop to another: Windows positions are lost and I have to reorganize everything in each desktop every time I change to it. This does not happen for manually placed windows or default shortcuts (win+left/right)
You can see the strange behaviour in this animated gif: https://imgur.com/a/xb6XB6Q
Please let me know if I can provide more info about my setup which helps to solve this issue.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the window-position changes when opening a new window or switching virtual desktops under KDE/KWin, using the reported Debian 10 setup and the linked GIF for comparison. Check whether manually placed windows and Win+Left/Right behave differently. Done means positions remain consistent after switching desktops and opening windows.
