What happened?

When I switch workspaces, a new tab is created, when all other tabs are pinned. I would like the workspace switch to happen within the same pinned tab, instead of opening a new one.

I am also facing the same issue in Zen browser. This should not be the expected behavior while switching workspace.

Platform:
Linux - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

I am also facing this issue and would really like it to be resolved. I do lots of work with copying and pasting data and switching workspace and it really slows me down and gets annoying needing to add an extra click every time to go back to the pinned tab.
