Leopard, Spaces, and Adobe products, and PowerPoint too
Okay, I give up. I just disabled Spaces. Let me count the reasons why:
- While putting Word into Space 1 prevented Word from crashing as frequently, using PowerPoint (2004) in Space 1 still led to PowerPoint telling me that the file on the file server I had open had been locked (by me) and so I had to save the file to a new name. Repeatedly.
- Today I had PowerPoint and 1 mail message open in Space 1, Firefox and Mail open in Space 2, and iTunes open in Space 3. I started using iTunes U, which required flipping back and forth between Firefox, my Mail, and iTunes. I clicked on Mail in the dock, and the space wouldn't flip. I moved the 1 mail message back to the rest of my mail in Space 2 and clicked on Mail in the doc--still the space wouldn't flip. I clicked on Firefox, I couldn't get to Space 2. Finally, I couldn't move from any space to any other without going into Spaces itself, or the Expose shortcut.
Okay, so that's only 2 reasons, but I've really had it. Which stinks, because I love Spaces, and if it worked, it would make me more productive.
As for the Adobe products: something's still buggy between Leopard and CS3. For example, there are times when I choose the crop tool, type in measurements, and try to crop: the crop measurements don't stick. Sometimes they do stick, and then when I try to remove them from the toolbar, it looks as though I deleted the measurements, but the crop tool is still sticking to the deleted measurements. This happens at home consistently, but I'm pretty sure it happened at work too.
Then there are the CS3 updates, which take forever to load.
Leopard, oh Leopard, when will you stabilize?
