Launching Chrome with URL should always open in the current virtual desktop

Reported by alvar...@gmail.com, Aug 22 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.90 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create another desktop by hitting Win+Tab and clicking on "New Desktop" on the bottom right.
2. Place yourself on desktop #1
2. Launch Chromium (make sure no previous session or instance is running beforehand).
3. Open any website.
4. Move the Chromium window to desktop 2 by hitting Win+Tab and moving the Chrome window to desktop 2.
5. Return to desktop 1.
6. Run "chrome http://example.net/".

What is the expected behavior?
Have Chrome open a new window with example.net in desktop 1.

What went wrong?
Chrome opened example.net in a new tab in desktop 2 instead and switched me to desktop 2.

The reason this is unexpected is because I am following a topic on desktop 1 and Chrome moves me to another desktop.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 60.0.3112.90  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

I reported this on  bug #449616  [1] on 2015, but this was reported on Linux. This time I tested it on Windows 10 and it also happens so this is across platforms.

I opened a new issue because the other one is archived and I had no control over the e-mail account I used initially.

Errata:

I. Steps say 1,2,2,3,4,5,6 but they should read 1 to 7.

II. Any references to Chromium (steps 2 and 4) should read "Chrome". I am used to Chromium, but this should make no relevant difference at all.

Thank you for trying to reproduce the issue.

Step 6 was not followed correctly. You launched Chrome and, once open, you opened example.net. The correct way is to launch the command "chrome http://example.net/". There are two ways of doing this:

* Hit Win and just type "chrome http://example.net/". This will use the Search bar to launch Chrome with the parameter.

* Open the Command Prompt, switch to the Chrome directory (on my PC this is done by doing 'cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application"' and then running "chrome http://example.net/".

For an example on Chromium under Linux please watch https://youtu.be/tWE8EByo2k0 as reported on  bug #449616 . The behavior is the same as on Windows except that on Linux I had "focus stealing prevention" enabled.

Thank you,

Note: Its a Windows specific issue

Thank you for reproducing the issue. Hopefully this helps moving it forward.

However, please clarify why have you stated that this is a Windows-specific issue, as I have mentioned that this is reproducible under Linux, I have provided a video proof of the issue occurring under Linux, and I have even provided a reference to  bug #449616  which is way older than this bug and it has been closed due to inactivity but remains unfixed.

This is a multiplatform issue.

Video proof of this issue occurring under Linux is included on  bug #449616  but I also paste it here for reference:

Thanks.

Correction to the c#5
Issue is reproducible on ubuntu 14.04 and Mac 10.12.6 also
Still unfixed...

It's very simple to fix on windows... (but maybe impossible on linux?)
