Tabs un-join and re-join in new window of different desktops

from Stardock Forums

If I have, for example, three windows of file explorer open and grouped together, and I open a new file explorer window in a different desktop (through task view), then one of the three joined windows (from the previous desktop) is un-grouped and joined with the new explorer window (on the new desktop). 

If I ungroup the new window from the window that traveled through different virtual desktops, then the old window rejoins again the original group (where it should have stayed in the first place). 

I believe this is a bug. Can anyone reproduce or is there a known solution already? I have the latest version of Groupy installed (1.44).

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Do you have Explorer.exe listed as "Automatically group" in your Application Grouping list? If you do, please remove it from there and try again.

Thanks

Hello, 

Thanks for the prompt reply. Yes, it was in the  "Automatically group" list. 

Now I removed it and the problem is gone! 

I still think this is a small bug, why would it transfer one of the tabs through the different desktops? But in any case, I don't mind about auto-grouping and my issue is fixed! 

Thanks

Hello again, 

New problem: now that I removed file explorer from the "automatically group" list, when I click on the "+" symbol to add a new tab, it sometimes opens a new tab and other times a new separate window. 

Any ideas?

Hello,

Never seen this on my system. Please try purge and reinstall steps as mentioned here: https://forums.stardock.com/488142/groupy-support-faq#reinstalling. Just make sure to re-download the latest version from your account. Reboot after the purged. Reinstall, and Reboot again after the installation. Retest it. Report back here.

Thank you,
