I've seen postings about photoshop CS4's conflicts with Spaces, but not recently and not about CS4 as a whole.

The main issue I experience is that when I try to permanently assign, for example, illustrator to Space 2(in the system preferences, spaces tab), and then open illustrator while in a different space. What happens is that half the application (particularly the application frame) opens up in space 2, while the splash screen hits whatever space I'm in, and with it all the toolbars and palettes. Then selecting half in the application in either space causes a back and forth switching between spaces, potentially causing the dock (which i believe manages Spaces) to crash.

the only ways to fix this are to activate spaces so that you can see all four, and then hold shift while dragging the toolbars and palettes over to the application frame OR to quit illustrator, switch to space 2 and open illustrator there OR to not assign a CS4 app to a specific space

OR to turn off the application frame. This basically works, and is what I do. But what happens is that the toolbars/palettes still open in whatever space you're in, but as soon as you open an illustrator document everything gets automatically switched permanently to Space 2.

I suppose this is partly an OS X bug, but it really is the CS4 app that is somehow not managing its windows correctly when the application launches. And it is somehow tied to a difference in how the application frame and the flash parts of the GUI (toolbars and palettes) are handled. Having an application's splash screen come up in the foreground when I'm in another application and just trying to open illustrator or photoshop in the background to a different space is (just) annoying, but is definately related to the larger problem.

please fix this. Being able to assign an application to its own space is really productive and useful. And I like the application frame, too bad I can't use it...
