Spaces: started apps are shown on top of the spaces overview

Submitted by mojo2012 on April 25, 2009 to Annoyance, Bug

If you start an app and then switch to the spaces overview and wait til the app has finished loading, it shows up in front of the spaces overview.

This looks like in the screenshot.

If apps are started and then spaces is activated, the starting app should be shown on that space, where it has been started.

It should look it has been started before spaces was activated.

even worse - like expose, spaces has still the mouse focus even when the new opened app looks like its the active app and is in front of spaces (keynote for example). So if a user clicks on the app to use it spaces just switches to the space even when the app isn't in it.
