Setting the desktop access to ‘All Desktops’ from the OS menu bar, does not allow switching to the Messages window on one of my desktops (number 4 of 8). Setting it to just one desktop works fine, regardless of which desktop. Returning it to ‘All Desktops’, now matter which desktop I am setting it from, the issue returns. This issue occurred after the latest update.
Mavericks
Hi,
Can you explain a little more? - I’m sorry I don’t quite understand what you mean by the system is not allowing you to switch to the Messages window.
When trying to switch/toggle applications, from any other application on the space, to ‘Messages’, it goes to another space with ‘Messages’ on top. I can’t figure out which space it goes to, as of right now it appears to be random.
How are you switching applications? Cmd-tab?
If the Messages app is set to all desktops I would expect the window to be present always when you are on any desktop. Is this not the case?
When I try this I find that Messages is present on all spaces, and no matter which space I am on I can switch to it either using cmd-tab or by just clicking on its window. Is this not what you find?
yes, Cmd Tab. Lets say i am on space 4 (where the problem lies), and I am using Sublime Text. I get a notification that someone has messaged me. I CMD+TAB to Messages, and it switches to Messages, BUT on a different desktop/space. Clicking on the icon in the dock selects the program, but the window does not appear.
