P: Always switches desktop space to the initial

1. Create 2 desktop spaces on macOS.
2. Open Lightroom in the first space.
3. Open Mission Control (press F3).
4. Drag Lightroom window to the second space.
5. Switch to the Lightroom on the second space.

Should be: Lightroom must remain on the screen.

Actual result: Lightroom changes desktop space automatically to the first one without Lightroom in it. Can't use Lightroom anymore.

I've had this same LR space-jumping issue for years as well. 

Adobe, please resolve this.

I've downloaded Capture One. Don't make me use it.

 

Thank you.

This drives me mad when it happens - I can't believe it hasn't been fixed yet. Adobe takes my money every month, but leaves issues like this neglected for years. It isn't good enough

This happens to me too, and yes it is super annoying. The only workaround for me is to quit LR, move to the space I want it to be on, then restart LR.

LR never used to behave like this, this issue was introduced in a version of LR a few years ago.

It's less annoying than the other long standing LR->PS bug I have, but it seems both the bugs that affect me are acknowledged by Adobe and then *years* go by and nothing ever happens. Frustrating... *sigh*

I'lll sign off with my usual "I'll check back in next year on the blind hope we see some progress...:

Hey Ruby, any update on this issue? It's been happening now for over 2 years. It's not like this app is actively being developed with new features. How about fixing some of these annoying bugs? An update on the status would be appreciated.

I take great exception to your post, I do not ‘keep posting’, I posted once with a solution that worked for me following a suggestion from Ricke, I am sorry it did not work for you. Neither did I suggest that it was not a LR problem, however like many software issues sometimes a a possible workaround is a solution until it gets fixed. Please withdraw your comment!

No other app requires this. This is a lightroom bug.
