Leopards - spaces and lack of window focus - Page 2

Try using the shortcut for window switching, that works for me. The shortcut depends on what language version of OS X you're using, in the swedish version it's Command+>.

that works, but you have to remember what you put in what space -- whereas with command-tab you move to the app you want. so it's not a great workaround (for my cruddy short term memory) and does not change that Firefox has a bug in it. but thanks for sharing. i can at least use that.

I should've been more elaborate in my suggestion above... here's what I REALLY meant to write (but was to lazy to execute):

After you Command-tab to Firefox, hit the shortcut for switching to the enxt window and then the shortcut for switching to the back window. That'll give focus to the window that was in fron in Firefox when you got there in the first place. So, two extra keyboard commands, instead of one click. Might be worth it if you're a long way from the mouse...

And if there is two or more Firefox windows open they don't stay in same order when you change space...

I am very frustrated with this BUG. Not only does it happen consistently in Firefox but also when I open a new doc in NeoOffice or a new image in Preview, if I have others open, I have to go find it. The new one's not on top. Grrr. :-)

When adding a contact in Address Book from Mail that doesn't have clear First and Last Names for Address Book to "figure out", the new contact opens like it did in Tiger but when you start typing (assuming your cursor focus is in the Name field, as it was with Tiger) you find yourself jumping through your contacts because the focus was in the Address Book Spotlight. Then you have to go find your new contact in order to add the names.

I'm glad to find that others are having the same problem and it's not just my MacBook. I re-installed the 10.5.1 update and it didn't fix it.

Hope they fix this one.

Well did you file a feedback form? Just hoping will not let Apple know abut the bug. The more people whole file about one bug the more likely Apple will notice.

I am with Mac OS X 10.5.2.

The issue seems to have been fixed with FireFox 2.0.0.12. :-)

The issue is still there with ThunderBird 2.0.0.12 though. :-(
