Random interruptions

What you are experiencing with the desktops jumping back and forth is a MacOS bug that has existed for years. It only impacts certain types of apps and Apple has shown little interest in fixing it.

I'm guessing that you're using Spaces for multiple virtual desktops.

Here's what likely happened.

At some point you had a MinimServer window (likely the logs) open in one space / desktop, but didn't close it (let's call this Desktop A). At some point in the future you opened the MinimServer properties window in a different space (let's call this Desktop B).

In most cases MacOS is smart about this and switches to the desktop with the already open window before opening the new window. With some types of applications MacOS is stupid and ignores the fact that another window is open so it just opens the new window on the current desktop. In doing that it brings the app to the foreground which causes Spaces to switch to Desktop A as that's where MacOS thinks the application is open. The problem is that the window that is now in the foreground is on Desktop B so it switches back to B. This sets up an endless loop as MacOS gets confused about which desktop it's supposed to be on.

This isn't a Minimserver problem or bug but it happens to be that MinimServer is one of the types of applications impacted by Apple's bug.

Best course of action is always to close Minimserver windows when you aren't actively looking at them or make sure that you always interact with MinimServer from the same Space. If it does get into this state then you can stop it by clicking on any other window. Once that application is brought to the foreground the jumping will stop. Then you can quit and restart MinimServer.
