It's quite > jarring. I've seen this too Carl. My 733t diagnostic skills point to right-click->move-to as the problem. IOW, open OO.o in workspace 1. right-click window title and move-to work space 3. switch over there and try it out... teleport back to workspace 1. hmm.. on testing this some more, it seems to be, after the move-to, that right-clicking in the window is the problem... more testing... okay. I think I've got it. any action that produces a new window item -- such as a right-click context menu, or clicking on the menu bar, or ctrl-F (find) which pulls up a new dialog... any windowing related activity jumps you back to the original workspace, and if its a dialog, puts that dialog there. It seems that OO.o doesn't know its been moved to a new workspace, and tries to draw its new widgets in the old workspace. IceWM respects that the focus has shifted to the old workspace and switches you over there. the work around is to open OO.o in the actual workspace you want to use it in. and this is definitely a bug, but with whom, I'm not sure, most likely OO.o as other apps don't have this problem, AFAICT.
