Sonar not behaving with multiple desktops

[matt]

TL;DR version: Sonar will not stay on the desktop I assign it to.

So I've been using multiple desktops with Windows for as long as they've been a thing, it is truly the best feature of Windows in my opinion.  On desktop 1 I have Sonar (or up until very recently, Cakewalk).  Desktop 2 has all my internet stuff, file browsers, email, etc.  Desktop 3 has remote desktop open which controls my VEPro/sample computer.  It is the most efficient setup and I am constantly switching back and forth between the 3 desktops as I work.

I just started trying out Sonar in the last couple of days, very much not looking forward to the inevitable forced move, though also greatful for the short-lived extension.

Whenever I move back to desktop 2 from desktop 1, roughly about 75% of the time Sonar follows me to that desktop and is now on desktop 2.  I have to manually right-click and force it back to desktop 1 every time.

Cakewalk has never done this, not once, in however many years... has to be at least 10 years I've been using multiple desktops.  And I use Cakewalk 80+ hours a week.

In fact no program or app has ever jumped desktops on me.  What gives?

I'm on Win 11 Pro version 10.0.22621

@matt sounds like you are using Workspaces which unless you save the Workspace after making changes will always revert to saved settings on starting Sonar. If possible I recommend using Workspace none then all Sonar functions are fully available and things stay where you put them from session to session.
