On Mac Sonoma, the new dropbox menu (pop-down from menu bar icon) switches spaces when invoked. This behavior makes it nearly unusable since it requires the user to manually switch back to the space ...
Q: When you click the Dropbox icon in the menu bar, does macOS visibly switch you to a different desktop, or does the menu appear on another space or display while you stay on the current one?
A: The menu icon appears on all desktops, but when clicked, it switches to a different desktop and shows the menu there. The only time it does not switch to a different desktop is when you happen to be on the desktop the menu seems to be associated with. There is no setting to associate the menu with a specific desktop, no way to un-associate it or change its association, or to even see which one it is associated with. In the old format there is no association at all (clicking just shows the menu without switching). That's the correct Mac OS UX and matches how all other apps' menu icons work.
