MacOS: Does not open in assigned desktop

[juancoquet]

On MacOS, you can assign applications to open in a particular desktop by default. E.g. if I have two desktops, I could assign my browser to open in desktop 1 and my terminal to open in desktop 2. This behaviour previously worked in Neovide, but after upgrading to 0.12.2 it no longer works — Neovide opens in the same desktop as the terminal that it was launched from, even if I have assigned it a different desktop.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add multiple desktops by entering mission control (usually F3) and clicking the + button at the top-right
2. In one desktop, open a terminal window
3. Launch Neovide
4. Move the Neovide window to a different desktop than the terminal window
5. In the dock, ctrl-click the Neovide icon, click Options > Assign to > This desktop
6. Close neovide
7. Go back to the terminal which was in a different desktop
8. Launch Neovide
9. Neovide does not launch in the assigned desktop; instead it launches in the same desktop as the terminal that launched it

Expected behavior
Neovide should launch in the desktop it is assigned to, even if it is different than desktop containing the terminal that launches it.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Sonoma 14.0
• Neovide Version: 0.12.2
• Neovim Version: 0.9.5
