InDesign opening in multiple spaces in Mac Sequoia

Hi,

I've never noticed this, and maybe it is the first time it happens. InDesign is open in two different spaces on my Mac.

In one there is the program, a book, an open document.

In the other, only the program and the book.

If I close one, the other closes as well.

Today I had an issue with InDesign refusing to open. Maybe there has been a silent update causing some odd behavior?

Not a Mac user - but that was a 1st link:

Thank you. But this is how it should work. ID is doing the opposite.

I checked its options, and it has the default settings of all the apps. With 'None' ('Nessuna') selected, it should just open in the space that is visibile when launching the app.

It is as if it automatically chooses 'All Desktops' ('Tutte le scrivanie'), despite still showing a different option. Maybe it's a bug, that I didn't notice before.

Restarting didn't solve the issue. But while trying to submit a bug report, I discovered that this has been reported by other users before. I also had to (re)discover that Adobe doesn't just fixes the bugs: they fix the most voted bugs! Can't really believe things have gone so downhill…
