Hello Raghavendra,

The usual issue would be that the "firefox download window" ends up on
workspace B. For that complaint, workarounds include using
XMonad.Actions.SpawnOn if the program is started from xmonad, or
defining manageHooks that shift windows to the right workspace.

But what you described sounds like a bug. If we can see your xmonad.hs
(attach to an email, hpaste.org, etc.), it will be easier for us to
figure out why this is happening.
