I haven't been able to find any threads about this - maybe I'm the only one who use this feature? But for the longest time (possibly since Split Screen was first introduced), macOS did this really useful thing where when you're running a split screen app, if you bring up the dock, right-click an app and tell it to open a new window, the new window would appear as a split screen window next to the already open full screen app.
I used this constantly for years, but after updating to Ventura last month (yeah I know, I'm a very late adopter with operating systems), macOS appears to have removed this super useful feature. Now, if you open a new window from the Dock while in fullscreen, macOS will switch to a Desktop space and open the new window as a regular window. Ugh. This is a serious downgrade in functionality.
I fear that they did this because now that Stage Manager is out in Ventura and iOS 16, that's the new windowing mode they want to promote and they're going to start to move away from split view, letting it languish, removing features and letting bugs creep in (just look at the Split Keyboard on iPadOS - a good example of a feature they've done this to)
My question: has anybody noticed and missed this feature? And is there possibly a way to get it back, perhaps through a "defaults write" command?
