I have build a cocoa mac application which is a menubar app. When you click it, it opens a NSWindow.

The problem:
1. When I open the menubar app on Desktop1.
2. Then go to Desktop2 and open the app by clicking the menubar icon, the app opens, but the desktop moves back to Desktop1 !

It’s a rather tricky thing.

I appreciate your help !
Thanks

    Try setting your window collection behavior to NSWindowCollectionBehaviorCanJoinAllSpaces so that, well, it isn’t restrained to a single desktop.

    [newWindow setCollectionBehavior:NSWindowCollectionBehaviorCanJoinAllSpaces];
    

    NSWindowCollectionBehaviorMoveToActiveSpace should also work, but is a little more finicky.
