Spaces bugs with floating windows...


  • Subject: Spaces bugs with floating windows...

I've got an app whose interface exists entirely in a single floating window and I'm sure a few other people have noticed that Spaces has issues with tools in that category. The most prominent failure is that setting an app to appear in all spaces doesn't "just work" but someone on (I think) this list posted a workaround involving NSWindow>>setCollectionBehavior:.

Bug #2: I let the user configure my app to allow clicking through to the desktop, and after a space switch when the window has been told it can join all spaces, the window loses track of that setting. Querying ignoresMouseEvents returns YES, but clicks are absorbed by my window. The workaround seems to be to repeatedly send setIgnoresMouseEvents:YES to the window.

Bug #3 was reported today. When the window is configured to live on all spaces and the user switches to a space that contains no app windows other than Finder, the app that was frontmost on the prior space retains control of the menu bar. If there are any apps other than Finder visible in the new space, the menu bar is updated correctly, even if the active app in that space is Finder. I have no workaround for this yet, but wondered if anyone else had run into it and/or had suggestions.

Greg
