idk why nobody posted this yet.
the thing is that im working on live lets say in "Desktop 1" and when i try to switch to "Desktop 2" live switches too and always keeps on top of other apps, this is freaking annoying and would be great to have a solution to this.

it is an issue.
i can confirm this happening time after time
and it's annoying when Alleton-live sits on top and block all other windows.
This Bug is noticeable when working in full screen mode (F11) when don't have taskbar access...
But i can't say 100% sure way to reproduce bug so didn't report it.
What I had noticed is - bug happens suddenly after reloading controller scripts (+) jumping from prog-window to window (Alt+Tab)

That's a Lion "feature". Right click on the ableton icon and you can make it show in "any desktop", "this desktop", or "all desktops" (or something similarly worded; I'm not on my mac at the mo). You've got "all desktops" turned on so live will follow you around all of them. set it to one of the other settings and it'll stop doing that.


So it's not a bug. It's a little known feature of Lion.

Hey...thanks for that...I buzz around a lot of desktops at times using Lion/Live with gestures/shortcuts, just tried it, seriously cool feature and very useful.I'll use that on other stuff now as well. 8)
