Description

When using the keyboard shortcut Super + Shift + (Up/Down) to move windows, the window sometimes moves to a new workspace even though no workspace-switch shortcut was used.

This issue is only observed on the external monitor in a dual-monitor setup. Performing the same window movement on the primary (laptop) display does not trigger the issue.

Workspaces are configured with a vertical orientation.

Expected Behavior

  • Super + Shift + (Up/Down) should move the window only within the current workspace.
  • The window should move to a different workspace only when the explicit workspace-move shortcut is used.
  • Behavior should be consistent across all monitors.

Actual Behavior

  • Repeatedly using Super + Shift + Down causes the window to move to a different workspace unintentionally.
  • This happens only on the external monitor.
  • The same key combination behaves correctly on the laptop/primary screen.
  • The workspace switch occurs without invoking any workspace-switch or workspace-move shortcut.

Environment

  • OS: Arch Linux
  • Display setup: Laptop screen + external monitor
  • Affected display: External monitor only
  • Workspace orientation: Vertical
  • Window movement shortcuts: Super + Shift + (Up/Down)
