My MacBook Air keeps switching between desktop and full screen apps by itself without me doing the 4-fingered swipe. I've tried quitting various apps and restarting the laptop but to no avail. Help?

Umm no you shouldnt be blaming, Google Drive isnt officially even supported for 10.9, as you can see from this system req page: https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2375082?hl=en&ref_topic=2463299

The only reason it runs is because your running the same kernel architecture.

Plus this doesnt happen in those other OS's like 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8, so whos the real culprit? non stable shiny new OS? or the user who thinks "it should just work"?

The problem is the same me. When I open an app (Chrome, Safari, iTunes,...) in full screen mode (called desktop 2). It sometime randomly switch to the main desktop (desktop 1).

So I think OS have problem what there. Please let me know a solution to resolve this. I cannot work on many desktops ><

This is happening to me. I uninstalled Google Drive long ago. What else could cause this?

I also have random touches occurring. Cursor will jump somewhere else. I thought it was oversensitive track pad on new MacBook Pro, but I turned off tap to click and it still happens. I've seen the cursor move when I wasn't even near the trackpad.

Are you hitting any of the shortcuts. Perhaps used in your fullscreen app.

I have exactly the same problem. I have only noticed it when in Safari. For me it happens once every 20 or so minutes.

I have a 13inch Air. And no other applications open. I am not touching my laptop when it switches.

Zane did you find a solution?

I'm having this problem with my 11" MacBook Air too. At first I thought it was only happening in Chrome or Safari, but tried to watch a movie in Quicktime today with fullscreen mode, and the same thing happended: it would randomly switch back to the finder with no response from me on the trackpad or keyboard, but the movie was still running in the background. I have to do a 4 finger swipe to go back to the movie, or click "bring all to front". Very annoying.

Did you ever find a solution to ths problem? I have the same issue with my macbook...it's very annoying!

I am having the exact same problem. it is very annoying when i am trying to accomplish work, and for no reason my typing just stops. it automatically reverts back to the desktop. also when im in Safari it automatically gets deselected and reverts back to desktop. and just now while typing this, it popped open a file on my desk top?? i was typing, and a file automatically opened without selecting or switching. i really hope some one out there can find a solution for this problem.

I am having the same problem. My Mac air switchhes back to desktop more frequently. It is really annoying when I tried to read or write. (it did this to me again while I was typing the last sentence)

Please let me know if anyone has a solution, that would be a life-saver

I just got this annoying problem too. Macbook air with Mavericks installed. Did a quick test in safe mode and it seemed to be gone. But I guess we can't live in safe mode.

hey, I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch, with Mavericks, and i have the same problem. It happens every 2 minutes...

I am having the exact same problem. Macbook Pro 15" Retina, Mavericks, brand new. Keeps switching mid-work-flow to mac desktop. Verry annoying.

Apple - are you listening??
