Summary

NAPS2 is an application for scanning documents. but whenever I open it, it opens in a state "unmanaged" by komorobi, ie, it doesnt tile, nor does it hide when switching between workspaces. I have attached a video to demonstrate the issue. when I minimize and restore window, it works - but as soon as NAPS2 opens a sub window for scanning progress dialogue - komorobi stops managing NAPS2 again.

I suggest opening a bug report with NAPS2 and backlinking it here - when applications behave like this it's usually because they are not adhering to Win32 application development standards
