Q: How to stop windows sliding between open applications
There's an irritating scenario whereby open application windows slide and disappear instead of (as I want) staying on the desktop,
Can anyone assist in telling how to stop this considerable irritation, please?
Regards,

In addition to all the good information you have already received:
Click and hold the Safari dock choose Options and under "Assign To", choose "None". If this problem also happens with other applications, do the same for each of them.
Then go to Mission Control, move your cursor the top area where the Desktops are displayed; for every Desktop in there but "Desktop 1" or (if you see it), "Dashboard", click the circled X at the top left to close it. You now have only one Desktop where all your applications reside.
Remember, as you have been told before, if you use apps in full screen mode, they will get their own Desktops.
