Description

In a specific use case the dispatcher workspace, previous_per_monitor does not switch to the previous monitor (see how to reproduce).
First mentioned in #6641

How to reproduce

1. go to monitor 1 and open a workspace with an app on it (lets say ws number 1)
2. go to monitor 2 and open a workspace with an app on it (lets say ws number 2)
3. use dispatcher movecurrentworkspacetomonitor to move ws 2 to monitor 1
4. on ws 2 the dispatcher workspace, previous_per_monitor will not change to ws 1 even though that's the previous ws on that monitor

@leon-erd can u check please? #6688

[leon-erd]

Will check tmr :)

[leon-erd]

Does not fix the issue unfortunately :(
I just saw that it got merged in the meantime. Maybe its a good idea to mark the MR as draft initially

[Truenya]

maybe, but it can fix situation, when

1. go to monitor 2 and open a workspace with an app on it (lets say ws number 2)
   

2. go to monitor 1 and open a workspace with an app on it (lets say ws number 1)
   

3. go back to monitor 2
   

4. use dispatcher movecurrentworkspacetomonitor to move ws 2 to monitor 1
   

5. on ws 2 the dispatcher workspace, previous_per_monitor will change to ws 1
   

first problem was more about all workspace:previous logic, not just about previous_per_monitor

[Truenya]

at the moment I have no plans to fix or optimize the existing logic, I'm just enjoying implementing some new features (and, ofc, taking responsibility for them)

[leon-erd]

maybe, but it can fix situation, when

1. ```
   go to monitor 2 and open a workspace with an app on it (lets say ws number 2)
   ```

2. ```
   go to monitor 1 and open a workspace with an app on it (lets say ws number 1)
   ```

3. ```
   go back to monitor 2
   ```

4. ```
   use dispatcher movecurrentworkspacetomonitor to move ws 2 to monitor 1
   ```

5. ```
   on ws 2 the dispatcher workspace, previous_per_monitor will change to ws 1
   ```

first problem was more about all workspace:previous logic, not just about previous_per_monitor

I just tried it and it does not work. Step 5 will not change to ws 1 but stay on ws 2

[Truenya]

finally done
