How do I move app windows from one desktop to another?

Hi -

I make use of Mission Control and have 4 desktops ready at all times.

Since upgrading to Mavericks I'm not able to drag application windows from one desktop to the next by just moving it to the edge of the screen.

I hope this feature hasn't been discontinued. I rarely plan ahead enough to switch to a new desktop before opening another application.

How do I move open application windows from one Mission Control desktop to the next??

Thanks.

You should be able to do that. Drag the window until your cursor reaches the edge of the screen, hold for about a second, then the window should move into the adjacent Desktop.

Open Mission Control and drag a window from the Desktop (or, Space) you're working in onto the Desktop of your choice in the row at the top of the screen. If you want to move a window from a Desktop other than the one you're working in, you have to go to that window's Desktop to move it.
