  • Applications in fullscreen desktop lose focus if Orion instance focused on other display

  • BugsDesktopDone

I have two displays:

Display 1 (external display): Orion instance in non-fullscreen desktop

Display 2 (Macbook display): Microsoft Teams meeting in full screen desktop

When Display 2 is showing a fullscreen application, whenever I select the Orion instance in Display 1 (to gain focus on it), Display 2 moves away from my meeting to another, non-fullscreen desktop (e.g. the default desktop).

Display 2 should not be affected by actions I perform to an Orion instance.

I mentioned Microsoft Teams but this behaviour is found in all applications that are in a fullscreen desktop. You can reproduce this with Spotify, or Calendar, etc..

I believe this is a bug introduced in the latest version of Orion.

    Say you have 2 monitors
    the primary monitor has your desktop, and the secondary monitor has a game running in fullscreen.

    If you click on an open Orion window on the primary screen (make it 'focused'), the secondary monitor will automatically change to a virtual desk instead of leaving the fullscreen game displayed.

    Example in the case of Roblox:
    'focusing' Orion on another monitor will switch the window from 'Roblox' to 'Desktop'.

    Expected functionality:
    Orion does not affect the window state of fullscreen applications on different monitors.

    I can also confirm that this problem affects Orion only.
    If i was to 'focus' an app like System Settings, the fullscreen app on the other monitor remains fullscreen, and does not automatically switch back to other windows.

      Same issue being faced here. Very jarring and makes working on 2 montiors very difficult

        Same issue. It is a real problem when developing in IntelliJ in fullscreen and the Intellij screen disappears.

          Merged 3 posts from Orion forces fullscreen applications on other monitors to lose focus.
