Version 1.5.99, Build 1805. Win7.

I just saw Dexpot get very confused about my Eclipse window.

I have a 3x3 grid of desktops. I normally have Eclipse running in desktop 5. The weird factors of the current state are this:

If I move to each desktop, I find the Eclipse window. When I click on that window, it beeps at me, as if there is a modal dialog somewhere. The only desktop the Eclipse window does NOT appear in is the desktop that the Eclipse icon is showing in in the Desktop Manager window.

I can drag the Eclipse icon in the Desktop Manager window from one desktop to another. The desktop that I drop the Eclipse icon in is now the only desktop the window does not appear in. Confused yet?

I don't see any way to restore this to sanity without rebooting.

The problem should be fixed in this version.

Go to the desktop the window is on according to the Desktop Manager, move the mouse pointer over the window's taskbar button, right-click the window preview, select "Move", press one of the arrow keys on the keyboard and then move the mouse to bring the window back.

Ok, I'll install that version tomorrow afternoon (I have to give a demo tomorrow, so I'm not going to make any changes to my environment until that is done) and give it a try.

Hmm. I exited Dexpot and then ran this version. All the menus and labels are German, and the list of plugins/extras were empty. I can't do much with this.

You have to save the dexpot.exe file to your Dexpot installation folder (C:\Program Files\Dexpot), replacing the original. Make a backup copy first, in case you want to go back to the old version.
