MoneyWell and Mac Spaces

[ritch]

It doesn't seem that the Spending Plan window plays well with Spaces.
I haven't figured out how to recreate it but there are times when I
have MW open in Space 1 and have something like Pages running in Space
2 that causes problems.

The issue: when the Spending Plan window is open and I click to enter
a Planned Amount I'm immediately "Spaced" over to my second screen as
if my click has triggered a Cntl-2 keystroke. I have not been able to
figure out how to get in the situation and it isn't automatic. I can
open my spending plan and it work just fine but if I switch back and
forth between my Spaces I eventually get to a point that if I click on
the Spending Plan window I get shuffled off to the next space.

Kind of bizarre really. I'm trying to figure out the steps to
recreate the exact steps but no luck so far. It has happened to me at
least three or four times.

I'm new to Macs so maybe there is some setting I'm missing somewhere.

I don't use Spaces but I've noticed some occasional odd display
behavior from MoneyWell that may be related.

Whenever I've resized the MoneyWell window to only take up a portion
of my screen (so I can look at a spreadsheet or email at the same
time) I've noticed that sometimes the window will "jump" to a
different part of the screen. It's not a huge jump (maybe 40-50
pixels) but it's noticeable. Since I typically have MoneyWell sized to
fill the entire screen I don't notice this very often.

I'm wondering if somehow MoneyWell is saving the position/size of the
window and if you frequently resize/reposition it (or switch between
Spaces) MoneyWell might try to refresh the window and draw it at its
previous location, causing the jump.

I'll try resizing my window more often and see if I can hit this more
consistently.

Hi Craig,

I've had problems with Spaces and other applications but not MoneyWell
yet. If you want to clear all your window settings so MoneyWell starts
over with each placement, delete your preferences file (~/Library/
Preferences/com.NoThirst.MoneyWell.plist) and then run MoneyWell
again. Thanks.

Peace,
