new windows open on all desktops

Postby psb » 21.02.2013 22:58:55

Whenever I open a new application or window, like IE or windows explorer, it automatically copies itself to every desktop. I then have to manually remove it from each desktop except the one it's supposed to be on. Is this the expected behavior? I did not see a configuration option to configure this behavior. After a little research on the forums, I verified Dexpot is set to run as administrator, but this had no effect. I really like this application and hope this issue can be resolved.

:dex:

Do you have any "Application Assignments" or "Desktop Rules"? Does this happen with every application or only certain ones like IE and Explorer?

It happens will all applications. I one desktop assignment and one application rule. Both apply to microsoft communicator to allow my instant messages to be accessible on all desktops all times. I also use Ultramon to help manage my three monitors. I closed Ultramon to see if there was a conflict, but it did not change anything.

What exactly are the conditions and actions of that rule?

Ah, I had the type field in the condition set incorrectly. I pointed it to the correct window class, and now everything works normally. Sorry for the confusion.
