I have a dual monitor setup on my iMac.

I keep all my BBEdit windows on the primary window.

However, from time to time the search (and multi-file search) move themselves to the second monitor.

This in itself isn't a major problem, however, the result is that I can no longer return to the Desktop containing the BBEdit windows by using Command + Tab, as BBEdit thinks it is already there, as it has found the search dialogs on the second monitor.

Is there any way to stop this?

TIA,

Marius

I have also found this to be the case with BBEdit 12.x. And it's
compounded by my use of separate Mission Control spaces on each desktop,
so that I am often rummaging through space trying to relocate my Find
window.

I'm having similar issues. I primarily use BBEdit on my MacBook Pro's built-in screen, but every time I unplug or plug in my Thunderbolt dock with the external display, the floating palettes shift all around. It was happening with BBEdit 12.x and continues with 13.x. Anyone have any suggestions?
