I run Matlab on a Macbook in one of several multiple desktops. I set Matlab to FullScreen in it's desktop. There are two problems with how Matlab works in this mode. First if I switch to a different desktop new figures are not no longer created in the Matlab desktop but appear in Desktop 1. Second everytime Matlab creates a figure it switches the Mac to that desktop if the figure is large enough. This has the effect of totally subverting that multiple desktop capability. Is there a way to deal with this?

I have a similar problem. I run long computations in Matlab on Desktop 1 and plan to do some other work on Desktop 2. But figures from Matlab keeps popping into Desktop 2. How to keep ALL Matlab windows to the same Desktop as the main windown in Matlab? Thanks.

And @Kurt Lanes I also found a workaround to your query. You can dock the figure in the main Matlab window by default using:
set(0,'DefaultFigureWindowStyle','docked')
And this should let you work in other Desktops without intereference.
