Mission Control Bug

Hi,
I found a bug on Mission Control.
I think i will explain good.. sorry about my language.
I have two applications:
- Adobe Flash
- Cornerstone
I assign "Desktop 2" to Adobe Flash.
I assign "Desktop 3" to Cornerstone (SVN Client)
When i go to "Desktop 3 - Cornerstone" and inside of the application i double click on *.fla, Lion goes to the Desktop 2 and returns to Desktop 3...
If i go to Mission Control, i can see these two applications are on "Desktop 3" and "Desktop 2" is empty.
And Mission Control "Desktop 3" shows the two applications like this:
Other question, is not posible to set custom order of desktops?
Thanks,
manu

I really a bug, or im doing something wrong? thanks i report the bug.. i hope they fix fast
And my last question of custom order of desktops?
Thanks

Photoshop and OSX Mission Control bug

Hi, i'm using Photoshop CS6 (13.1.2) from Creative Cloud subscription.
I'm working on a Retina Macobook Pro with OSX 10.8.3 and i'm working with different desktops using OSX Mission Control feature to switch between desktops.
The problem that i encounter is that when i switch from the desktop where Photoshop is opened to another desktop, and then i return to the desktop where is opened Photoshop, well i can't no more use the keyboard shortcuts to change the tools, like switching from (M) Marquee tool to (V) Move Tool.
It's a bug that will be solved in a next update or i'm doing something wrong?
Thank you!

I'll try some tests, anyway sometimes it respond and sometimes not.
One thing i'm sure: when not responding, i try to click on the Photoshop interface and then i try some keystroke, but it still not respond to keystrokes.
I'll let you know as soon as possibile.

Mission control bug -- can't always click windows?

Hi all-
I've been using Lion for few days now, and, in general, the new behavior of Mission Control is far better than Expose. I am having one problem, though, which is that sometimes, when I try to switch to another app, the window I click on just moves a bit instead of coming to the front. I've actually had situations where I end up clicking a window 5 times before it actually comes up. I don't know if the OS thinks I am trying to drag the window, rather than click it, but it is getting really annoying.
Anyone else having this issue?
Best,
-Zach

@thingsmove I would like to point out that feedback does do something.
@ds_store Saying it doesn't is a very defeatest way of looking at the OSX lion feedback box apple has provided.
My intentions weren't to give some link to play around with, it is a serious connection to Apple and one of the many ways we are able to, sort of, directly contact them.
If Apple just focused on the hardware and never it's users, I don't think it would be where it is today.
I never used spaces because they never made them work with multiple monitors (I've sent feedback about this after noticing they made it even worse in Lion). I've got all the "space" I need on three monitors and have successfully ignored "Spaces". Having said that, I'm aware of how exposé and spaces worked in SL.

Trackpad is presenting a bug to open and close windows, mission control, and to move/roll the application (App) up and down.

Totally out of the blue, my trackpad is presenting a "bug". Every time that I try to open and close my mission control, or in the moments that I move / roll up and downs the Applications Screen, my Mac freezes for less than a second.
It never suffered any damage (NEVER!)! I am feeling very frustrated because I have no idea about what could cause such problem.
My MacBook Air is running OS X 10.9.5.
Any help will be very welcome!

Well, it all really depends on the custom program and how it was written. Does it have an ActiveX interface? If it does, than that's the easiest way to go. If you put an automation refnum on the fron panel, you can right click and it and choose Select ActiveX Class>Browse. The browser will list all of the ActiveX type libraries that are registered on your system. If you can find one that refers to your custom program, then you should be able to use it's methods and properties to control. If it does not have an ActiveX interface, then things get much more difficult.

Why does mission control switch the order of my desktops? is this a bug?

Hey I'm new to these discussion forums, but I think I may have found a bug in Lion. If you look at the attached screen shot, you'll see desktop 3 is in the location that desktop 2 should be (second from the left). This has been happening randomly and I have to restart my computer to fix it. Logging out and back in doesn't fix the problem. When I press ctrl+2, or ctrl+3 it goes to desktop 2 and 3 respectively; however, when I'm in desktop 1, and press ctrl+>, it goes to desktop 3 (since it's right next to 1).
Also, I would really like to be able to move my applications between desktops (spaces). Previous OS X's gave the functionality with the Spaces Overview screen that let me see all of my spaces and move applications in between spaces. How can I move applications in between spaces without first going to that space, then going to mission control, then moving the item to that space (simple operations have been made more tedious due to mission control).

At this stage you cant move applications between desktops without accessing a desktop first. I know, silly byt its how it is in Lion.

Bug: Previews in Spaces/Mission Control not visible

I've noticed a bug with Mountain Lion's Spaces/Mission Control. Sometimes when I enter MC, the previews of spaces up top don't appear (1st attachment) until I swipe to a full-screen space (2nd attachment). A restart or log out/log in resolves it but eventually the problem comes back.
I'm on OS X 10.8.2

Third party software conflict.

[bug] Can't open new desktop from mission control if dock is on the right side

I can't open new desktop from mission control if dock is on the right side

I recently moved my dock to the right so I didn't know the + sign would switch sides. I normally run around that many too depending on how large of a stack whatever I am programming is using.
Anyways, thanks for the help

Kind of bug in Mission Control (Mountain Lion)

Hi,
I'm experiencing an issue with Mission control in ML. It's a little bit touchy to explain with my broken english !
In the first space, I opened the finder and tried to move it to the second space (quite simple). The first attempt do not work. As you can see, the space 2 do not change his color (first image). When I release the window, the window get back to his preliminary position (in space 1). The second attempt works fine, when I release the window on the second space, the window is well placed (good image). So, only one movement out of two do the trick. I can reproduce this each time. Is this a normal behavior ?
Bad:
Good:
Thanks.

Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback

Bug(?): Please fix this in Mission Control

I enjoy Mission Control, however I have a request and a question/request.
When I have only two apps open and enter Mission Control, they are right on top of each other. They are both in the center of the Mission Control view and I can hardly see/access the second app. Does anyone else have this issue?
I would like to see Apple reformat Mission Control for two apps so they are side-by-side instead of right on top of/in line with each other in the center of the page.
Second, I thought I had seen or heard that you can pinch to expand multiple windows for one app in Mission Control to see all of them. What is the gesture for that? I have tried the pinch-to-zoom/expand gesture, but that does nothing. What is the gesture for this? If this is not an option, I would like to see it become an option.

Yes, unfortunately the correct answer is not the ideal answer. And the issue is also not fixed in 10.7.2 either.
Anyway I did find a workaround resolution though but never got around to posting it.
In my experience, you dont need to even have a third party app on the system, mission control does not work for two apps as long as they have same height, meaning they can be streatched to same width but if they are similar height it will lead to problems. I always keep all my windows to maximum width/height stretched, so I was having this problem.
Now, the apps I use more often like browser, I have that stretched down to the max, but other apps have varying size of heights depending on how often I use them. This way I am not inconvenienced often and they all work. So my finder ends slightly higher than where my firefox ends, but they are both same width. Mail also ends slightly higher and so on. I hope it helps. If it does please confirm on this thread.
Also, I dont know how to submit this to apple, but if you do know then please do, it may help them fix this.
Regards.

Desktop background disappears, Mission Control doesn't work correctly

Sometimes it happens that my desktop background completely dissappears, and Mission Control stops working as well.
It seems to happen when I open a new window in a fullscreen app (like Safari), and while it's opening I switch to another space.
Whenever this happens, my desktop changes to the Dashboard background, and Mission Control doesn't show the other spaces anymore (but you can see active windows in your main space). I've added pictures below.
I can still swipe between spaces, my dock still works and all apps still work in all spaces.
Any way to fix this without rebooting? To avoid this happening (apart from me being more patient)?
This is my desktop at the moment:
And this is Mission Control:
I am using: Macbook Pro 5,4
OS X 10.7.1
2,53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

I am experiencing the same thing as most of us, exactly as explained by - Acid_Raccoon.
UK-Max - This is not just a specific problem involving external screens. The dissappearing wallpaper, and loss of function of mission control (do not show spaces, but you can click in empty area where it should be located and it actually works as normal) occurs also when there is no
external screen input involved - You have to restart computer for it to return to normal. As a matter of fact, I am experiencing it right now for the 10th time in 1 week period, and it´s quite annoying. I would guess more than just a few people are experiencing this, and as postmechanical mentioned about having a brand new computer - this shouldn´t occur, and if so should get a fix immediately.
Over time, I have experiencing other system problems produced from installing OS lion. Sure it deliver a few smart, and smooth features, but since more and more bugs are discovered (and not fixed by apple), I am considering returning to snow leopard. For instance, sometimes when my computer goes into screensaver, it can shift to a picture of pixels (black&white) in 4:3 screen ration. This has never occurred before installing Lion. Another thing which is extremely annoying is that since installing lion, my computer refuses to go to sleep when I close my lid. Nothing happens, and it just stays on. I have to manually select in apple-menu to sleep.
I really hope Apple take these notes people have mentioned in this forum (and others) seriously, and fix them. I really hope Apple show more custumer service-spirits, than Apple´s lack of hardware-quality. (I have owned 4 apple computers(1 powerbook G4, 1 macbook & 2 macbook pro), brand new, and 3 of them have experienced hardware-failure on more than one occasion in less than a year. The one that didnt required service was my powerbook G4 titanium, released in 2001, and kept going for 4 years straight without any problems.) (Actually, the last one experienced 3 times in-a-row mother-card failure). I only go for Apple´s products due to its smart and clean features (and seriously PC is not an alternative if you want to stay mentally healthy), but what I´ve been reading on multiple forums over the web, more than a few, experience occuring hardware problems with their Apple computer.
I guess this is the result of Apple trying to push for higher revenues. If Apple keep go in the same directions as it has been doing in the last 4-5 years it will be its doom, and loose the customers that once caught the Apple-wave due to it´s innovative and personal aspect, but most important - it´s superiour quality it once had! Apple´s products is quite expensive, and thus should be combined with its smart and innovative system, along with lasting quality. But if $ revenue is the only thing that keep Apple going nowdays, and produce smart product that is meant to last for only 2-3 years maximum, it is deeply disturbing and the company will loose track of what stevie was initially producing - clean, smooth system (just works, no migraine), with everlasting quality far seen in PC-world. Apple - please consider !

Dock Crashes When Accessing Mission Control

For some reason, the Dock crashes and reboots every time I try and get into Mission Control. The log is posted below from Console.app. Anyone know why this might be happening? I'm on the latest version of Mavericks.
The only strange thing that's happened to my OS is a bash script that ran without admin permissions that started deleting files (there was a bug in the script I wrote) off my drive in alphabetical order. Mostly that just screwed up some applications like the Adobe Creative Suite and Autodesk Maya, but it perhaps had an impact here?

Hi ..
Might be corrupted dock preferences.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following;
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.dock.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac then try Mission Control.

Indesign cs6 menu and tool bar disappear between windows using mission control in mountain lion

heres 2 screen grabs before and after. while navigating between 'spaces' using mission control in mountain lion. issue - the menu and tools bars disappear - not all of them just parts of them. to get back i hit 'tab' button twice which hides and shows tools. very annoying - does anyone know of a fix or is this another bug which i have to live with. im using a macpro june 2012/running 10.8.4 and 2 screens - left for artboard - right for all tool windows.

thanks steve - yes that works as does using the tab key - all well....until i move to another 'space' and then come back again.
for example: my setup is like this - no2 space has indesign project. no3 space has photoshop. so im working on a page within indesign and i need to edit an image- i double click the pic and it opens in photoshop on the other 'space' save the file and go back to indesign to update pic and find menu/tools all over the place - so hit tab twice back to normal - until i 'move' out of that space into another - photoshop/ mail/ whatever - as i toggle between spaces the indesign menu will always be 'corrupt' for a better word. hope that makes sense.

Office apps don't like mission control

When Spaces first came out in OS X Leopard, I liked it a ton... It allowed me to organize work and have certain apps launch in certain spaces... Except there was one big problem... When you would first open Excel, Word or any Office app, it would open in the Space you had reserved for it (so far, so good) but with that app now open (say, for example, Excel), if you would be in some other space and open yet a second Excel document, that second doc would now open in whatever space you happen to be in at the moment... That was a flaw... I was never sure whether it was an Apple bug or one tied to Microsoft/Office... But eventually it got fixed... In some later version of Leopard or maybe when we got to Snow Leopard (I just don't recall), it got fixed by someone and I was happy...
Now, it's back... Bummer... Let's say you reserve Desktop 4 for Excel (that's what I do)... Say you're in Desktop 1 when you first launch Excel... The system switches to Desktop 4 as it should... Now, say you're back in Desktop 1 and you now launch a second Excel document... Unlike the flaw there used to be in Leopard (where it just stayed in whatever Space it was at the moment), if you watch you will now see the window quickly swing to Desktop 4 (where it should now stop) but then immediately it swings back to Desktop 1 and the document errantly opens there...
It's like we just took one step backward... I do a lot of work where I open lots of Excel documents from different Spaces (or now Desktops) and I like them all to end up in one place... The old problem existed so long that I had even gotten used to manually switching to the Space I wanted for Excel before opening subsequent documents. This way I could force all my Excel docs to open in one place... I was so happy when it got fixed but unfortunately now it's broken again... I will tell Apple... I will tell Microsoft... Then I will wait a year and hope... Just a heads up to any who care about how the new Mission Control works...

No, I just tried precisely what you suggested... I have Excel open already and a document sitting in Desktop 4. I held down the Excel icon in the dock while sitting in Desktop 4, clicked on Options and chose (it was already checked by the way), "Assign to this desktop"... I then moved over to Desktop 1 and from there I requested some second Excel document to open... As it opened the desktop switches to Desktop 4 quickly (good so far) but then within a fraction of a second it switches back to Desktop 1 and the document opens in Desktop 1... That's wrong... I want ALL Excel documents to open in Desktop 4... Not just the first one... When this was broken back in OS X Leopard, I got used to first switching to Space 4 and then opening subsequent Excel documents... That would force the documents to open in the Space I want. Now, I will have to start doing that again... bummer...

Mission Control - mail attachments

Ok, another problem with Mission Control - open an attachment from Mail in fullscreen (an Excel attachment anyway), and you get an Excel window in the Mail Space, but you can't get the menu bar for Excel. You also can't move the Excel window into another space, so there's no way to do a lot of editing tasks. This is the second major flaw I've found with the way Lion handles windows. 'Early adopter' or 'beta tester'?
Can anyone offer a solution?

Bug report would be what I would do.
My wife is also experiencing issues with iTunes running in full screen and watching movies in her iTunes library. I cant quite pinpoint or replicate the the bug. But it also screws up her Safari running full screen. She is using OSX version 10.7.1 (Whatever is the most up to date as of today).
I'm guessing it has something to do with fullscreen iTunes, movies, Safari, and sleep mode (like closing the lid of laptop and later opening it).

Mission control changes layering of open documents

When I toggle between mission control desktop spaces, if I have multiple Word or Excel docs (may be true of others, but this is where I see it happen), when I return to the docs space a different document is on top but not selected, so I have to select the top doc then re-select the document I want. It's like the original doc remains on top virtually but not visually. If I toggle back and forth several times, a different doc may be on top each time. This practically kills the value of multiple spaces.
While I'm at it, I hate that opening a document in one space, say from an Outlook email attachment, the file opens in the same space as the originating document rather than switching to the space I've dedicated for the document app, such as Excel.
Do I have to give up using mission control or does someone have a fix?
Thanks!

Yes. I used to get this problem. Seems to have been largely fixed with 10.7.3. I deleted all my desktops and started again.
There are still some bugs though. For example, if you have an app with multiple windows open and then put it in full screen mode. Command-tab doesn't take you to the primary window.
Also the keyboard shortcut to get a spotlight window results in a switch to the finder but doesn't display the finder window.
