This is due to the fact how X11 works. On X11 there is one global stacking
order. Not much one can do about that. Virtual desktops are just a concept
which hides certain windows.

Changing this would require a fair amount of rework and I doubt this has any
priority the next years especially given that there is a high risk of breakage.

Definitely not!

I've "always" been wondering why KWin has a global stacking order. Is there a
reason why it should be global? (I'm just curious)

> Sending a window to another desktop does not affect the stacking order.

Is it on purpose?

The stacking order in KWin is global and not per virtual desktop. Sending a
window to another desktop does not affect the stacking order. It still has the
same position. If it is behind another window the reason is it was already
behind it before sending.
