Repro:

1. Have an app (e.g. Chrome) open a window on two desktops
2. Focus on Chrome in Desktop 1
3. Move to Desktop 2, where Chrome is somewhere in the background (have a different app foregrounded)
4. Execute shortcut to open Chrome

Expected behavior:

1. It foregrounds Chrome on Desktop 2

Actual behavior:

1. It switches back to Desktop 1 and shows the Chrome there

This is a regression from a previous version

Affected: keyboard, maybe others; anything that can do the open application functionality

Which BTT action are you using to go to Chrome?
