Classification:Enhancement Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
When you open a link (from Messages, Mail, Twitter, etc.), it should always open in the current desktop. If you already have a window open in another desktop, though, the new window opens there instead

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect a second display, so you have two desktops
2. Set your preferences, so each display has separate spaces
3. Open Mail in Desktop A, and a Safari window in Desktop B
4. Focus Mail
5. Click on a link in a Mail message

Expected Results:
The link opens in a Safari window on Desktop A, since that’s where you’re currently working

Actual Results:
The Safari window on Desktop B gets focused before the new window opens, causing it to open on Desktop B instead
