### What’s The Bug?

When opening a new window, sometimes an error is displayed saying there are no existing spaces. If by some chance the operation is successful, if the computer is put to sleep, on reopening one of the two windows is blank and upon refreshing opens a copy of the already open window not the previously loaded one.

I recognise these may be separate issues, but they may also be connected

### How To Reproduce It

1. Open Anytype and view a page.
2. Go to Window-\>New Window
3. New window opens with an error

### Image or Video

### The Expected Behavior

New window initially opens as a copy of the current window but can be navigated elsewhere

Similar things experienced on Mac. Haven’t really identified a clear pattern. Maybe related to sleep mode of laptop? 🤔

52.3 and yes, it still happens for me (the sleep issue that is), either the duck, or sometimes now just a blank window with endless pulsating bubble. Not seen an issue just opening a new window.

I’ve already fixed it but it will be available later, it happens if you switch space in one of windows and try to open new window after

### What’s The Bug?

If you open two windows of Anytype, like by CTRL+clicking an item, then disconnect and reconnect to Anytype (like by sleeping the computer and waking it up), then one screen shows a “You’re all out of spaces” notice. This is not actually true, as the other window shows as normal, and you can close the window with the notice and re-open a second window.

### How To Reproduce It

1. Open Anytype
2. Open a second window of Anytype by control clicking.
3. Set your computer to sleep mode.
4. Wake up your computer.
5. One window says “You’re all out of spaces” with a duck.

### The Expected Behavior

Either the original location reappears on both windows, or both show the same location.

After updating to v0.52.4, there is a slightly different but similar in-effect result.

Now when the ducky appears, the 1st instance of Anytype can also appears to be completely black.

@Timboxy @C.c @personnotman Do you mind checking if the issue persists in the latest pre-release, or if you don’t mind waiting until next week, in 0.54.0?
