As soon as Accordance 9.5.6 is open, when I open Dashboard, in a 2-3 seconds it slides back to Accordance. (Dashboard is set as a separate space). When I hide Accordance, Dashboard stays in place. When I launch Accordance and immediately switch to Dashboard, Instant Details and Resource palette are both being opened in Dashboard space! When I switch from the Dashboard back to the Desktop, Accordance has no palettes. Pressing Command+Option+0 corrects this issue. If I hide Accordance, I can keep Dashboard open. AS soon as I unhide Accordance, it pulls me out of the Dashboard. Accordance loves my attention to it!

This happens for me as well. The only solution I have found so far is to revert dashboard to pre-10.7 settings so that it is an overlay and not a space.

This happens to me too. I thought it had been fixed in a prior release, but seems like this bug is back. Incidentally, when I opened another program and had it in the foreground, Dashboard would stay put. When I brought the Accordance window to the front, Dashboard would not stay open.

I'll give Robb's workaround a try.

10.8.1 + 10.0.2

I also thought this was fixed at some point, but the bug is present at the moment. Swiping to Dashboard will spring back to Accordance as long as Accordance is in Desktop 1. If I assign Accordance to open in any other desktops except Desktop 1 it behaves as expected, though.

Thank you Robb for the tip (Dashboard as overlay).

However, Accordance!, I like my dashboard as a space and my new MBP does not have a dashboard key (did it have one before?), so a fix would really, really be appreciated.

I will go back to closing Accordance, to use Dashboard. (

Thanks for the tip Ken. Mine is a June 2012 MBP and they revamped the keyboard so there is no longer a Dashboard key! That is why Dashboard setup as a space is great because you can swipe with three fingers and get the screen to come into view.

Have a great day "down under"!

thanks Benoít!
the other option is to use a util like bettertouchtool to do it. should work really well.

is f4 assigned to anything else?

likewise to you "up top"

The keyboard design changed with Lion. Thus, the early 2011 keyboards/MacBooks do not reflect the concept of "Desktop" as Lion presented the user.

Hey -

I had this problem, too, but with my System Prefs set as in the shot, it doesn't happen anymore.

[attachment=2637:Mission Control.png]

I have Safari, Mail, Newsfire (great little RSS reader) in Space 1, Accordance only assigned to Space 2, Pages & Numbers assigned to Space 3, etc. As long as I have Accordance assigned to a Space separated from the Dashboard by at least one Space, I don't keep having my Spaces shift when I don't want them to shift.

Hello Julie, and thank you for the tip. I just changed my settings and it looks good. I think this might do well, as soon as I get used to Accordance being in its own space, so thank you very much!

What's interesting it that there is a preference for "keyboard shortcuts" but it will not let me change F4 or F3 for that matter.

Thankfully Julie's tip seems like its going to prevent me from having to close Accordance to use Dashboard.
