Certain windows copy themselves to all desktops
Posted: 10.02.2013 07:11:33
I'm having a strange issue where certain windows will "follow" me and copy themselves to any desktop when I switch with Alt-# or a mouse gesture. This doesn't happen with all programs, though.
My system: Windows Server 2012; Dexpot 1.6.5.2207. I have a custom rule for Google Chrome that always moves it to Desktop 2, and VMware Workstation is on Desktop 3.
When I open any of the following programs, I get a blank space in the taskbar, and the program's window follows me, copying itself to any desktop I switch to:
* Server Manager
* Microsoft Management Console
* Windows PowerShell
* Hyper-V Manager
* Hyper-V Virtual Machine Connection
* Perhaps others, but these are the ones I've noticed it with so far.
These screenshots show what is happening. In this case, Virtual Machine Connection has followed me from Desktop 1 to Desktop 2:
So I drag it from Desktop 2 and drop it back on Desktop 1. This would normally cause a program to move back and stay on Desktop 1...
But now I click on Desktop 2 to return to what I was doing, and Virtual Machine Connection comes right back.
