[TxMt] Funny behaviour with Desktop Manager?

[Kelvin]

I have the same problem, but it happens with or without virtual desktop. 
It's because of the behaviour of Mac os i think. The problem is every 
time you switch to Textmate, it checks for files updates/directory 
reference. When I have a large number of files opened or I am working on 
a big project with a lot of files, it takes a while. Say I am working 
with firefox and Textmate. If I switch to Firefox before the files 
update checking in Textmate is done, first it will switch to Firefox, 
and then when the update checking is done in Textmate, Mac os somehow 
turn the focus back to Textmate and bring it to foreground. Which is 
very annoying.

I think it's more like a bug in Mac os x more than a bug in Textmate?

I think the workaround is not to open so many files, or WAIT till 
Textmate finishing checking for file/directory updates before switching 
to another application.
