Newly opened windows do not appear in the active virtual desktop | Ubuntu 20.04, KDE Plasma 5.18.7

Problem: I installed KDE Plasma on Ubuntu 20.04, then added virtual desktops. Certain more frequently used applications will appear in a different virtual desktop than desired (the active desktop).

Firefox appears in desktop 2, Konsole in 1, and Dolphin in 4. I have perused multiple articles previous to this and have not yet found the solution.

The only thing that does work is removing virtual desktops altogether and that is obviously not a preferred solution.

How would I go about setting applications to always open in the active desktop (i.e. the one I am in currently)?


Solution: Right click on the toolbar of a problem application and hover over 'More Actions...', then click 'Configure Special Window Settings'.

In the popup window in the 'Size and Position tab' change the Desktop option to 'Apply Initially' and 'All Desktops' and hit ok to save the settings.

While this worked for me, I cannot fully guarantee this solution for you, you may have to play around with the settings more.
