    Seeing some weird behavior on Spaces that I can't figure out. Perhaps some of you have seen this issue as well.

    I have 2 spaces. Space #1 has all my Mac programs. Space #2 is set to Parallels. Recently, when I open up Parallels and get the small window with the power button, this opens up in Space #2, as per usual. However, when the larger window opens with the Windows desktop, it moves back over to Space #1.

    Really annoying.

    I have Parallels 6. The view is "window." It didn't used to do this. I have always kept it in "window" mode and did nothing that I can remember that would've changed this.

    YES, I have the exact same issue!
    I'm about at the point of seriously considering switching back to VMWare.

    Since I first came across this, I haven't seen it rear its head much more. I think a few restarts later it was working fine. I also deleted all my Expose options and re-added them. Try that...

    I removed all apps from Spaces list and added them back in. NO CHANGE. Did you remove them, then reboot, then add them back?

    the other possible difference is, I have Dual monitors. this is truly the last straw at this point...

    I don't recall restarting. I did, however, shut down Parallels. I assume you did that. I actually think I remember seeing issues around Parallels and dual monitors, so you may want to check some threads out on that issue. And unfortunately, I doubt any of the Parallels competitors have done a better job. So it's either Parallels or boot camp.
