Default Fullscreen switching annoyance w/reaper

I use Reaper on El Capitan.

Maximizing Reaper makes it go full screen, which could be great except that doing some functions, like clicking on a mixer channel insert, which brings up the plugins window, often causes the full-screened Reaper window to "swipe" away to my previous desktop space, sometimes showing the plugins window i requested (and other windows I had previously opened) on that old "space", but sometimes not even the plugin window. Either way I then I have to switch back to the full screen "space' (by using cmd+tab or hovering over my dock and cick the reaper icon) that Reaper is on, and I'll see the plugin window there.

Sometimes selecting a new plugin will cause the same maddening behavior, and I find myself in a constant war of trying to click back into different "spaces" just to accomplish simple tasks.

What happened to the good old days of having 1 workspace, or at least not having a desktop environment where windows open seemingly arbitrarily into different spaces, with mandatory swipe animations?

Im losing my mind over this. I just want all my work related to reaper to be in one space, no desktop switching.

Anyone else experience this, or have a workaround? The best I can come up with is to never "maximize" (full screen) reaper, which is a very hard habit to break (clciking on the green + button at the top of Reaper window)..


Thanks all.

Yeah, I settled on just dragging the window out to cover the whole screen (minus the menu bar at the top).

The workaround is to turn off tooltips in Reaper Preferences/Appearance page! It's a bug.

Awesome, I think that is helping a lot. This was making me SO mad I wanted to cry.

The only thing still making the space flip for me now is a plugin using the reaper_host_i386 compatibility thing, but I can deal with this.

This is so annoying
Can’t believe it’s still a problem years later 😢
I’m going to try disabling tool tips
Any hope of this ever getting a real fix though?

I am using Reaper for a few days and stumbled upon the same problems on two different macs.
I seem to have found a pretty simple solution, at least this worked for me.
I just enabled Full Screen (now its checkmarked) in the Views Section and the problem seemed to be gone for the FX Window slide aswell.
Hope that helps!

Yeah can we please finally do something about this? It has always been an issue. Working with the mixer on a second monitor is fine but this isn’t always available.

The moment I mouse over any mixer channel parameter the display swipes back to whichever desktop was showing Reaper. If Reaper is fullscreen then the display will swipe back to whichever space was showing reaper before it was full screened.

I think this bug has been fixed since version 6.10. I have it earlier but not now in Reaper 6.11 and Mac OS 10.14
