Issue: moving a window creates a new workspace [closed]
Hello,
I just installed i3 and ran into an issue with moving a window (leaf??) to another workspace located on another monitor.
example: workspace 1 (monitor 1) has a window (leaf) I want to move to workspace 2 (monitor 2). Focused on the window I want moved, mod+shift+2 creates workspace 2 on monitor 1 instead of sending it to the correct workspace on monitor 2. Now I have two instances of workspace 2 and my hot keys can only access the original workspace 2 (monitor 2) not the newly created one from the move.
Is this a known issue or anything that can be done to correct this?
System info:
- OS: Linux Mint 14 / 64bit / 3.5.0-40-generic
- i3: 4.6 (installed from the repose on the i3 site)
- Two monitors
- 9500gt (driver: nvidia-experimental-310)
