Description

Problem Description:

The Rio application is opened on Space (1) and using command + N opens a new terminal window. Switching to a new space, Space (2), ensuring Rio is the actively selected application, and using command + N does not open a new terminal window.

Going back to Space (1) and using command + N opens a new terminal window, as expected. If I move that terminal window to Space (2), then go to Space (2), command + N opens a new window.

Troubleshooting

I mostly just did MacOS troubleshooting to make sure it wasn't some hidden setting under Appearance or Desktop & Dock. I have attached my current Desktop & Dock settings for mission control and ensured that the grouping or "switch to space with existing open application window" was not set.

Proposition

If this is expected behavior or needs to be a feature request let me know and I can edit the FAQ mac page or look into contributing a fix. I didn't want to make assumptions on the intended functionality of the application.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. First reproduce the command+N behavior on macOS across separate Spaces, then trace Rio’s window-creation and Space handling entry points. Done means establishing the intended behavior and making command+N consistently open a new terminal window from the active Space, with coverage if the existing test structure supports it.
