Issues with the Orion browser

[barrelltech]

I just wanted to cross post this here for visibility — the Orion browser seems to have a bunch of issues with Aerospace. I submitted a feature request on their forum to possibly have a way to act as a simple Mac app. Not only would I like that as a feature, but it might fix things with Aerospace.

Still, it could be indicative of a bug in Aerospace, or perhaps some window APIs you'd like to support. The issues I have been consistently facing with Orion are:

• Navigation to an Orion window with Aerospace's "focus " has a 50% chance of bouncing you back to your first window
• Navigation to an Orion window with Aerospace's "focus " has a 25% chance of skipping the Orion window and going past it
• Navigation to an Orion window via the macOS app launcher will fail
• Navigation to an Orion window via clicking on the dock has a 90% success rate, but will occasionally crash aerospace

The discussion on their board can be found here: https://orionfeedback.org/d/9898-disable-custom-window-behavior

For what it's worth, I have had the occasional perhaps related issue a few times with IINA - the only other app I use that tries to treat every window as a separate app in ⌘ tab. I do not use IINA enough though to really be able to say anything with confidence, it's more of a hunch.

Unfortunately, if I just open Orion in a split with another app, navigation between them works fine. However in practice, it consistently fails.

Like I said in the link, I'm not excepting any magic :) both such amazing products, and I can't imagine this crossover being high on anyone's priority list.

Converting to a discussion, because I have no interest in triaging and fixing Orion related issues, and I want to keep only triaged issues in the "Issues" tab, please see #947, no hard feelings. PRs that clearly fix the problem are welcome.

Related or maybe even the same problem: #989

I've managed to fix this problem by turning off the "Open links from other apps in Preview" option in Orion.
