Hi all,

When I am running dual display in maverick I am having some issues with different apps being brought to the front, annoyingly, when I click on the app on the other screen.

For example: I'll have 2 safari windows open, one visible on display 1 and one on display 2. Unfortunately as soon as I click on the safari window to make it active on display 1, Microsoft Word will come forward on display 2. Further, if i have word in a different space, it will swap to that space! I want safari on both displays dammit! :p This seems to happen with almost all programs.

Any ideas? bug? Setting?

Cheers,

Tim

Settings > Mission Control ...make sure to leave a checkmark in the "displays have separate spaces"..then restart your system..see if that helps for the future
