Ghost Windows

[John-B]

Whenever I have two documents sharing the same window in tabs (which I only ever do accidentally), when I drag one out, it leaves behind ghost windows. These transparent windows are on top of everything else. Eventually, they go away, but I usually have to restart AP since it can take a while. This happened on my old machine, a late-2015 iMac, 10.14, and it happens on my new machine, a Mac Studio 12.3.1, Photo 1.10.5.

Hi John-b,

Does the shortcut for showing your desktop CMD + F3 cause the ghost windows to disappear?

Thanks

The ghost windows disappear with everything else, but they come right back. The only thing that SOMETIMES makes the windows go away is clicking in another AP document window. A few minutes ago, that fixed it, but I tried just now, and no amount of clicking anywhere will make the ghosts go away. Actually, I just went back to AP and clicked through each of the open windows several times, and the ghosts did go away. I just have to be persistent.

Happens here with OS 12.6.5

I find if I choose the originating window and move its location a bit (or a lot) then the other(s) will become solid again. This is one of the reasons I so very rarely use Separated Mode.

I ONLY use separated mode, so it would be nice if this were fixed. On the bright side, I never intentionally drag one window into another, so it doesn't happen very often.

Sometimes the ghost window follows me when I switch to another app.
