🔁 Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open RooCode.
  2. Hamburger > Open in Editor
  3. Drag RooCode's tab away to get it to open in a separate window.

Why? Multi-monitor workflow. Roocode gets opened on a side monitor, while I navigate code on the main monitor.

💥 Outcome Summary

  • Expected: Roocode should know my current workspace directory, even when it's moved to a new window.
    • Alternatively: when Roocode runs in a no-workspace mode, Roocode's main menu should provide a way to manually select workspace folder that should be considered current.
  • Actual: Roocode lost track of the workspace.
