Hello,
I'm using Qtile on two monitors and I don't really get how groups are 
managed  between them.

This is the first time I use a tiling window manager, so I don't really 
know if this is a normal behavior. I quite enjoy using Qtile but groups on 
the two screens are not what I expected.

It seems that the same group cannot be used at the same time in the two 
screens? and switching on a group that is already in use on a screen make 
the two active group swap on the other screen which I find very annoying 
when going to next/prev group with keyboard, it swaps monitor all the time. 
Is that the correct behavior? I would expect to be able to use the same 
group with both monitor. Is this something that we could configure in the 
config file?
Thanks!

Here is my current config related with groups and screens:

def create_groupbox():
    return widget.GroupBox(
        borderwidth=2,
        highlight_method='line',
        highlight_color=['000000', '000000'],
        this_current_screen_border=active_color,
        inactive=inactive_color)


screens = [
    Screen(
        wallpaper='~/wallpaper.png',
        wallpaper_mode='fill',
        top=bar.Bar(
            [
                create_groupbox(),
                widget.Sep(),
                widget.CurrentLayout(),
                widget.Sep(),
                widget.WindowName(),
                widget.Systray(),
                widget.Sep(),
                widget.CPUGraph(**graph_theme),
                widget.MemoryGraph(**graph_theme),
                widget.SwapGraph(**graph_theme),
                widget.Sep(),
                widget.TextBox(text='🔊'),
                widget.Volume(),
                widget.Sep(),
                widget.Clock(format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M'),
                widget.Sep(),
                widget.QuickExit(default_text='🗙', countdown_format='{}'),
            ],
            25,
            background='131313'
        ),
    ),
    Screen(
        wallpaper='~/wallpaper.png',
        wallpaper_mode='fill',
        top=bar.Bar(
            [
                create_groupbox(),
                widget.Sep(),
                widget.CurrentLayout(),
                widget.Sep(),
                widget.WindowName(),
            ],
            25,
        ),
    ),
]
