  • If you're going to give separate spaces to individual windows, couldn't you just use full-screen mode, which essentially does the same thing? Commented May 28, 2015 at 15:09

    Full-screen is not what I'm looking for. My typical workflow is to have a dedicated Space for each project I'm working on. So I have many active Spaces, each of which usually has a Chrome window, an editor window, a terminal window, etc. And I don't want to spend time distributing windows across Spaces every time I reboot, restart an app, or an app crashes. So I'm really interested in just what you see in the diagram above: to have apps or the OS remember which Space each individual window was before an app was quit. Commented May 28, 2015 at 16:56

    Not sure why people are having issue with OP's question. I get impression that people don't understand how Spaces and Mission Control works. From my perspective, I see the OP's issue frequently, and the behaviour is inconsistent across various applications, such as Safari and Finder windows. Sometimes the windows go to their various Spaces, and sometimes not. Commented May 28, 2015 at 16:59
  • @Vzzdak Good point about the behaviour being inconsistent. Forgot to mention that. Commented May 28, 2015 at 17:46

    Although this question is from 2015, it is still completely relevant in 2019. It's not just Chrome. I see the same issue with Finder windows, for example. Commented Jul 27, 2019 at 23:44
