TF spontaneously switching spaces (regression)

[pjv]

I am currently on 1.5.31 of TotalFinder. The most recent couple pre-release versions have been exhibiting the unwanted space switching bug for me (that I had not seen since back around version 1.5.8-ish).

Anyone else noticing this?

I’m not aware of any intentional changes which could affect this. But TotalFinder is pretty fragile in this sense. Let’s watch this issue. I need more people to confirm it and pin-point the triggers.

This thread may be relevant:

TF can sometimes force an unwanted space switch

I’ve noticed (and mentioned on old forums, I think) that TF has a mildly annoying tendency to force an unwanted space switch. Steps to reproduce: (example apps and spaces used, AFAIK this will occur for any app on any space): (1) Be working in some window, say Safari (like I am now) on Desktop 1 (2) Summon Visor on Desktop 1 using hotkey (CTRL + ` for me) (3) Switch to Desktop 2 using hotkey (ALT + 2 for me) (4) Mail.app is now the “active” app on Desktop 2; the Visor is behind it (5)…

I saw that thread.

I don’t know if this is consistently reproducible or not, but what I noticed this morning was that if I switched to an empty space - one with no apps and no windows in it - by four-finger swiping from an adjacent space (which is a gesture that I am using all-day, everyday to switch from one space to another) I would suddenly get switched back to a space that had windows in it.

I haven’t been seeing this behavior for a long time and it definitely coincided with a recent TF pre-release update.

Is there any way to downgrade?

Thanks.

FWIW, I downgraded to 1.5.29 and haven’t seen any space-switching since.
