Hi Eric,

Thanks for the response. I can see only one desktop there.

Please refer attached screenshot.

NO. In your screenshot, you see "Desktop" and "Safari" - indicating that Safari is running in fullscreen mode.

Any fullscreen application automatically gets its own desktop, so you have TWO.

If you want to get Safari out of fullscreen, move the cursor to the menu bar, so the green/yellow/red buttons appear, and click the green button:

FWIW, that will happen whenever you have an app in Full Screen. I don't know of any way to open an app on top of another that is in full screen.

Hi,

Open System Preferences > Mouse then deselect: Swipe between full screen apps.

If you use a Trackkpad, it's System Preferences > Trackpad.

Clarification questions - what do you mean by Safari slides away? Is the newly opened application in another Desktop window? If you go control - up arrow, how many Desktops do you have?

When safari window is set to full screen mode ( can use control , command and F keys ) and you open simultaneously say an application calendar , with the help of spotlight or launchpad , the screen folds or slides away and left over is only calendar application .

Now , if you want only calendar application to stay on the desktop , right click on safari icon in the dock and click on quit .

Calendar application is left on the desktop and is on the top .
