I just started using **Spaces** in **10.14** (I know I'm a little late to) and was excited at first until I encountered this scenario:
When I am in a **Space** and do **Exposé** to "Show me ALL *Application* Windows", **Exposé** shows me **ALL** the windows opened for that App across ALL Spaces (and not just from the current **Space**)
However, the behavior in the next scenario is perfect:
When I am in a **Space** and do **Exposé** to "Show me ALL Windows for ALL running applications", **Exposé** dutifully shows me only the relevant windows for "**ALL**" running applications in the "**Current**" space only. - GREAT!
The problem with showing me "All Windows for Current Application Across ALL Spaces" easily overwhelms me, and to me it cancels out the usefulness of **Spaces** to organize productivity & workflow.
I created my **Desktops** to keep things separate.
If anyone has has any insight please share- would love to use **Spaces**!
