mDesktop and pnotes.net stickies #25

Closed tickseeker closed 9 years ago

tickseeker commented 9 years ago

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pnotes/ application sticky notes does not work right on mDesktop.exe

I do not know which one is the problem, but when I create a new sticky note (window) it does not stay on that desktop where I created it. For some reason it is occasionally copied to some other desktops too. This is continuous habit.

I'll have to test to confirm, but mDesktop works by showing/hiding windows. So if an application shows a window on it's own, it messes with mDesktop. mDesktop creates a list of windows on switching, so if the window is visible on desktop 1, then the app unhides itself on desktop 2, mDesktop stores the window on both desktops. Currently I don't know of a way around this without adding a bunch of overhead.

Do you know the steps to reproduce this?

I understand.

It happens continuously by the way I cannot understand... I switched to Microsoft's Stickies and works just fine :)

Well that works!!

I'm going to close this since it's not really an issue I can fix.
