Hey, I have 3 Desktops on my MacBook Pro but it seems like that Stage Manager only works well on Desktop 1. What I mean with this is that this little slider on the left slide only comes out on Desktop 1 not Desktop 2 & 3. See screenshot from Desktop 1.

Am I missing anything here?

It's pretty buggy across the board. Not gonna lie, a little disappointed that Apple would release this as unstable as it currently stands. I feel that Stage Manager has a lot of potential; hopefully the bugs will be worked out on the next update.
 
I really like Stage Manager but I also observed another problem. Dragging a file from the desktop into an outlook email is almost impossible. The Thumbnail isn't open the draft outlook email body rather open outlook. So I had to switch off SM in order to drag the file into the email, then switched SM back on.
 
Another thing about Stage Manager that took me some time to figure out. If you set the DOCK on the Left then Stage Manager will be on the RIGHT HAND Side of the Screen vs the Left. Happens on both a M2 MBA and a M1 MBP. If the DOCK is on the RIGHT or the BOTTOM then SM will be on the LEFT HAND Side of the Screen as it is designed to be.

I've had my Dock on the side of the screen for many years. I switched back with the advent of Universal Control setting it to Autohide.
