Same happening here. I can't pinpoint what's triggering it. I'm on Arch w/ KDE. I typically have one window on one virtual desktop, and another window on another virtual desktop. If I close both windows and try to open one window, I get two.

Nope

try turning off window sync and see if that causes it

surreal rune
#

Window sync is off for me

#

still occurs

might have to try different versions of zen from 1.18b to 1.18.4 to see when it started

#

I'll have to poke around more but this is definitely a bug

#

when i get a good idea on how to reproduce, i'll write up a ticket

surreal rune
#

OK! I did quite a few scenarios and I think I've narrowed it down.

#

Setup:
I would open one window and then open a second window.

#

Steps to reproduce:
I would close both with Ctrl+W

#

Then, I would open Zen again and both windows would open.

#

If I had both windows on different workspaces, they would both open in their respective windows upon relaunch.

#

If I had the same workspace in both, both would open with that workspace. If I limited my setup to only 1 workspace in general, same thing would happen.

#

In order to make the issue go away, I would have to open a new tab and browse to a website in one browser and make sure I closed that browser (and tab) last. The secondary browser would have to be closed first.

#

Having window sync enabled/disabled did not matter

#

If I did have sync enabled and looked at the website in the second browser, the problem would persist and the order of closing windows did not matter.

#

I had to open a link in one browser, never let it load in the second, close the second, then close the tab in the first browser, then the first browser.

#

Then the issue was gone.

#

Anyway, very strange.

# sacred canopy how to do that?

Last I heard, you need to flip a flag in about:config.
zen.window-sync.enabled
Be warned, it appears to still be breaking people's pinned tabs and workspaces.
YMMV

If you need me to pull certain logs, I can. Just let me know what you're looking for.

#

I don't think this error is related but this is me walking through the steps to reproduce and launching from CLI

I'll put it in the ticket though in case it is

And scroll up

#

Let me know if you want anything else. I tried to capture logs for all steps in the reproduction part but had to close the log window to trigger the error. I may have missed something in the process.

#

If I were to guess from looking at the logs, this looks like an issue with session management. =]
