    yeah, I have had a browser popup launch its own desktop and it doesn’t show an “X” in mission control…

    It’s a little embarrassing how easy this is. Worked like a charm!

      Yah, there is no X for me either. Kinda embarrassing for the OSX team, can’t wait to get rid of this thing, WINDOWS even works better than OSX now!

      ….Maybe it’s just Mojave? What are you using?

      IMHO the whole ‘virtual desktop’ thing isn’t really all that useful. I’ve had my friends show me how they use it, and it just doesn’t make sense to me. command + tab should be enough…
