Hi, Vipul.. This is just a "wild guess", but try looking at what the desktops think Chromium should be doing. After you've opened Chromium in any given desktop, try right-clicking over the top of where it shows on however you have that panel set up. As an example, *my* primary panel sits at the top of my screen. I would right-click over Chromium's active entry there. Some (but likely not all) releases and desktop environments and all that good shtuff... let you decide if any given program stays open in only one particular desktop, e.g. the next one to the right, OR in all of them *IF* you have more than one desktop available. What I'm thinking is that it's possible you, or someone else if anyone else uses your computer, accidentally or otherwise may have chosen that option *IF* it's available on your setup. If that *CHOICE* for a program's desktop residence is not available, I unfortunately can't think of anything else that might be causing that just this second. :) Good luck solving what's going on. PS This is one of the very few things that I've never seen a secondary way of achieving that same effect. If anyone knows of a different way to do the above, it's always nice to have at least two ways to get to whatever needs done on any operating system, really. #ThankYou in advance if anyone knows of anything! PPS *IF* there is a secondary way to choose a program's desktop residence, maybe that's how it got changed, too, *IF* that turns out to be what happened. I'm imagining an errant cursor going click happy behind the user's back. Has happened to me on more than one.. or three.. occasions. *Those darn dogs (again)!* Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with birdseed *
