Yes, this is a known Spaces bug. On Oct 29, 2008, at 17:11, Viv Kendon wrote:
Is this a known X11/Spaces bug:
1. open a couple of Xterms (or anything else X) using the X11 Applications menu (mine are customised, don't think this should matter). May not even matter how you open them.
2. move one to a new space (I use my designated function key, F12 on this MacBook Air Keyboard, it isn't the default, to get the "Spaces Map" and drag the xterm with the mouse to a new Space).
3. use the X11 window menu to choose the xterm in a different Space to the current one, so you switch to that Space.
4. Now use ^-> or ^<- (ctrl-right or left arrow) to move to an adjacent Space. Only you don't, you move to the Space adjacent to the one the previous xterm was in. Spaces hasn't noted the X11 induced Space switch.
OTOH, RetroOffice finally seems to be willing to allow its windows to be moved between Spaces. Previously, trying to select a moved window would flip you back to the original Space it was launched in. Many thanks! This has been a major irritation for quite a while.
