Hi,
Is there anything I can do to help deal with the following issue with Leopard's Spaces feature?
I like to keep each project I'm working on at any one time in its own space, which often means having 3 or 4 TextMate project windows open. I have TextMate assigned as belonging to every space.
Sometimes, I need to reorganise this, and it would be convenient to open the spaces overview screen and drag one of the TextMate windows to a different space. Unfortunately, doing this causes all the open TextMate windows to move to that space.
I'd chalk this down to a general problem with spaces if it weren't that Safari doesn't have the same problem. Again, Safari is assigned to every space -- but here I can use the spaces overview screen to drag a Safari window from one space to another without causing all Safari windows to move to that space.
To make the comparison clearer, I've done a quick quasi-screencast:

Cheers, Andrew.

All open TextMate windows _with a drawer_. It is a Spaces bug and I encourage you to file a bug report using https://bugreport.apple.com/ (I think I filed one myself, but I have been looked out of the bug reporter for over a week now “due to security reasons” so I can’t check), anyway, the more the merrier.
One present workaround is installing one of the plug-ins that disable the TextMate drawer (ProjectPlus or MissingDrawer).

Will do. Many thanks for the clarification on why that's happening. I notice Transmit has the same problem, which makes perfect sense.

Magic. Sincere thanks to one and all.
Cheers, Andrew.

Not sure if this will help you, but one way to move a window to another space is while holding the mouse down in the window title bar type control 1 to move that window to space 1, control 2 to move to space 2, etc.
