And you can see those and my other settings in the screen shot that is attached.
My guess is you have different settings under the "Mission Control" part of that Settings screen or something else.
You might want to also check your Accessibility settings as many Mac utilities can control desktop assignment and tiling.
Hope something here helps.

Thanks for the suggestions, Kevin. I had Stage Manager disabled and tried variants of what your image showed.
I've spent some time playing around with the macbook and I've found what's causing the problem. It's the way I use the green button.
All mac apps have a set of three colored buttons at the top left and I've always just clicked on the green button to get a full screen window. That act alone zaps Sigil from inside a named Desktop to its own workspace. And then use of an edit plugin always produces the problem with the working window moving to Desktop1.
If, on the other hand, I slide Sigil from its own workspace into a vacant Desktop, it appears half size. Then I hover on the green button and click the 'Fill & Arrange' full screen icon and Sigil expands to full screen and stays within that same named Desktop. Then, the edit plugin works as you expect.
Manually dragging the part sized Sigil to full screen size also keeps Sigil within the named Desktop.
Sadly, Sigil opens with a blank new file and then when I use the dropdown list to open a recent file, the new file opens in another workspace and the problem recurrs.
Since resizing Sigil by the means described above, I can now get Sigil to open in a named Desktop, full size, by double-click on an epub file. It opens in Desktop2, displacing Firefox to Desktop3. Maybe, eventually I can get it into the desired Desktop.
EDIT: Sigil or Mac seems to have learned. Now, when I double-click Sigil in the Dock, it opens a new blank file in Desktop2. Then when I use Sigil's dropdown list to open a recent file, it now opens inside the same Desktop. And I can switch between the two files by right-click
on the Sigil icon in the Dock. The selected file comes up full screen. No need to touch the green button.
I also use Scrivener and i recall asking on their forum why Scriv never opened full size on the Mac. Their dev's reply was that experience had showed them that it caused too many problems (without naming the problems).
When I right-click on the Scriv icon in the Dock, the bubble lists the last few files I have used at the top above the: options, show recents, and open. Clicking on one of those files opens it directly. A click on 'show recents' produces a horizontal alignemnt of Scriv icons with the same files avaialble as shown at the top of the bubble.
Sigil in the Dock does not display any previous recent files , not even when 'show recent' is clicked.
