Program not opening in right space

Question

I have had a specific program assigned to open in space 2. It used to work fine, but suddenly it doesn't work quit right anymore. If start the program directly, it will just open in whatever space is open. But if I start it by opening a document from the program, it opens in space 2. I tried with other program, and it works fine for them, they open in the space assigned to them. But it just doesn't work for that specific program. Odd. I tried to remove it from spaces and adding it again, with no luck. Any ideas?

If you have two programs on Mac OS which are able to open a filetype,
an arcane set of rules apply about which one wins. It is pretty
unpredicable, and may take into account order of installation, which
one is newer, which one wrote the files, and other things. So there's
no guarantee that reinstalling would change things.
You might find that starting the program you require, and quitting the
other, sometimes helps.
I think you were just lucky that it previously worked as expected to
such an extent you were able to rely upon it.
