Weird issue: Same Finder windows are visible in every desktop

At some point I must have done a “defaults write” terminal command or installed something which has changed the Finder (Mojave) but for the life of me I cannot figure out what app or preference is causing this: when I open a Finder window, it persists across desktops/spaces. In other words, I can’t have different sets of Finder windows open in different desktops. All of my open Finder windows are the same across all desktops. If I open or close a window, it open/closes across all spaces.

I’ve gone through all my preferences and apps, and I’m totally stumped. Does anyone have any idea what might have caused this?

Right click Finder in the Dock->Options and make sure that “All Desktops” isn’t selected?

Yep! That was it. That was totally unintentional, because I don’t even remember setting that option. Thank you so much, that was driving me crazy.
