Brave keeps crossing over onto all Gnome virtual desktops

Has anyone else seen this? I have to use process manager and kill Brave to get it back only on virtual desktop 1.

It doesn’t always do it. Not spotted a pattern as to when, but often.

You’re facing an intermittent issue with Brave freezing on virtual desktop 1. To fix it, try updating Brave, disabling extensions, and turning off hardware acceleration in settings. Also, monitor system resources to ensure nothing’s overloading the browser, and consider creating a new profile to rule out profile-related issues.
