Hey @aaron-beyond925 !
Thanks for the report.
Aaron:
Click on the “Open Workspace” button
Can you share a screenshot of exactly which button?
Note that this does not always happen, but quite often

Thanks!
I just had this happen to me while trying to reproduce it, and now after reloading my window I can’t reproduce it anymore!
That said, I know I’ve run into it before. I’ll file a bug report with the team. Thanks a lot for sharing the video!
Thanks for trying and passing it on. One thing I noticed (don’t know if this helps triage): When this happens (i.e. i had selected a workspace but it uses Home) and I select that same workspace again (so basically i repeat the action) then it seems to always work.
Thanks!
