TotalSpaces2 instant exposé freezes Dock

jumpy_joe · March 9, 2018, 8:04am

I’m new to the forum, so sorry if I am not doing this right.

Setup:
MacOS 10.13.3 High Sierra
TotalSpaces2 v2.6.22

Before the issue:
I have 4 spaces open. I have instant exposé set to a hotkey: cmd+shift+space. I also have other hotkeys set for the various available functions.

Issue:
When I press the instant exposé hotkey, exposé DOES NOT open up. Instead, the Dock freezes entirely. The Dock begins working again when I force quit it through the activity monitor. For some reason, I can’t force quit it through terminal. The Dock eventually crashes and restarts itself. TotalSpaces2 does not open instant exposé, but otherwise seems normal.

Temporary workaround:
I am able to use ‘overview grid’ and ‘single desktop exposé’ normally. When I use these hotkeys first, then TotalSpaces2 behaves normally, and I am able to subsequently use instant exposé.
