…AllWorkspaces windowRemoved() used to abort removing a closed window from every workspace's list whenever it still had focus and its own workspace wasn't the active one. That heuristic is unreliable for a window that is actually closing (common when closing a focused window on a background workspace, or transient dialogs), so the removal was vetoed forever and the icon stayed stuck. Replace it with a check of metaWindow.get_workspace(): Mutter/Muffin re-assigns a window to its new workspace before firing 'window-removed' on the old one, so a window that still has a (different) workspace is moving, not closing; one with no workspace left is genuinely gone and must be removed everywhere.

Summary
windowRemoved()used ahas_focus()+ active-workspace-index heuristic to guess whether a window was just moving workspaces vs. actually closing. That guess is wrong whenever a focused window on a background workspace (or a transient dialog) actually closes, which permanently vetoes the removal and leaves a stuck icon.metaWindow.get_workspace(): Mutter/Muffin re-assigns a window to its new workspace before firingwindow-removedon the old one, so a window that still has a (different) workspace is moving, not closing; one with no workspace left is genuinely gone and must be removed everywhere.Test plan
tests/unit/grouped-window-list-workspace-remove.cjs, a standalone Node harness (no Cinnamon session needed) that loads the realworkspace.jsand reproduces the bug: with the old heuristic, closing a focused window on a non-active workspace left it registered on every workspace; with the fix it's correctly removed everywhere, while a window that merely changes workspace still stays indexed (no regression).node tests/unit/grouped-window-list-workspace-remove.cjspasses.node tests/unit/grouped-window-list-workspace.cjsstill passes.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
