This is bug. No, it isn't. That's been an integral feature of windows + workspaces going to the BeOS days. "I don't like it." != "It's a bug." It's in fact quite handy in many cases. I might further note, if you actually want to convince anyone to change things, you might consider adopting a less adversarial conversation style, your responses to date do nothing to motivate anyone to change things. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/9287#comment:9> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
