Is it possible to prevent applications from auto-switching workspace. On my current setup my IDE always jumps to my current workspace when it catches a break point. This is messing my arrangement. I could accept auto switching workspace on event but applications should stay in place.

    P.S. I voted as a dupe, not as "unclear" ^, since I pretty much get what your intention is. – Jacob Vlijm Nov 01 '16 at 19:37
  • Thanks just had a short look at it right now. But it seems this could do what i want. Thanks. – lilUnicorn Nov 02 '16 at 11:14

If you mean by "prevent applications from changing workspace" that Ubuntu should prevent the IDE running on workspace x to switch to this workspace while debugging an application on workspace y when hitting a breakpoint then:

No, that's not possible, this is by design...

    Thank you, wasn't sure on the translation. As i understand there is still a slight difference between viewport and workspace(what i meant) but still, considering the comment of Jacob Vlijm also workspaces do not support (per default) the behavior i would like to have. – lilUnicorn Nov 02 '16 at 11:17
  • Me neither: but it got your question reopened and you're an 8-rep user already! ;-) – Fabby Nov 02 '16 at 18:36
