Text Editor (Gedit,Mousepad) Windows Not Moving to Active Workspace in Hyprland

### Gedit, Mousepad .. Windows Not Moving to Active Workspace in Hyprland**

Description

When opening a file in **Gedit, Mousepad.. ( from a file manager, wofi, rofi..), the window does not move to the currently active workspace as expected. Instead, it opens in the workspace where the first Gedit instance was launched, even when using windowrulev2 or hyprctl dispatch.

Expected Behavior

• If Gedit is already open, should move to the active workspace automatically.

*******note : If Gedit, Mousepad is not already launched, it opens in the current workspace as expected. ***

Current Behavior & Attempts to Fix

1. Using windowrulev2
windowrulev2 = workspace special silent, class:^(gedit)$

• This does not consistently move Gedit to the active workspace.

2. Using a keybind to manually move Gedit
bind = $mainMod, M, exec, hyprctl dispatch movetoworkspacesilent active,class:gedit

• Running hyprctl dispatch movetoworkspacesilent active,class:gedit does not always work.

3. Using on-created Rule (Incorrect Behavior)
windowrulev2 = on-created:movetoworkspace current, class:^(gedit)$

• This results in a configuration error when reloading Hyprland.

4. Floating Rule Works Correctly
windowrulev2 = float, class:^(org.gnome.gedit)$

• This works as expected, meaning Hyprland correctly recognizes Gedit’s class.

5. Checked with hyprctl clients and hyprctl activeworkspace

• Gedit’s class is correctly detected.
• The workspace ID is correct, but the rule does not apply as expected.

#### System Info

• Hyprland Version: v0.41.2

Additional Notes

float works fine, indicating that Hyprland correctly identifies the Gedit, Mousepad.. window but does not handle workspace assignment correctly.

Would appreciate any insights on whether this is a bug or expected behavior!
