Switched workpaces while opening, Ubuntu 16.04

[tzwalker]

Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

i opened spyder through the terminal of Ubuntu 16.04. before seeing the user interface, i changed workspaces using the hot key ctrl+alt+arrow down. The issue reporter window opened, but after a few moments the UI opened in the workspace i switched to (not the same workspace the terminal window was in).
