Window hints do not work for focusing full-screen windows #377

Mavericks allows users with multiple monitors to have apps run in full screen mode on each display. When multiple windows of the same application are open and one of those windows is in full screen mode on one display, trying to focus the full screen window when focus is currently on a different application focuses the last focused window of that application. For example:

  • with two displays (D1 & D2)
  • D1 has a full screen Chrome window
  • D2 has one Finder window and one Chrome window
  • focus the Chrome window on D2
  • focus the Finder window
  • activate window hints
  • select the hint for the full screen Chrome window
  • focus will go to the window of that application that last had focus (the Chrome window on D2)

Once one window of that application has focus, changing focus to a full screen window of the same application seems to work. Continuing from the above list:

  • activate window hints
  • select the hint for the full screen Chrome window
  • the full screen Chrome window now has focus

Looks like it doesn't matter if the other window is full screen, just that it's on a different display.

Turning off the "Displays have separate Spaces" setting under "System Prefs -> Mission Control" fixes this.
