I've often had problems with spaces, even more serious ones like a sheet being associated to a space different from the window it's attached to. So lots of child diseases. Generally, almost nothing about spaces is made public by Apple, so individual apps have virtually no control about how this behaves. Certainly, BD does not modify any default behavior, in particular the tex preview window has the standard behavior (whatever that is). So this sounds like an Apple bug. > 2) Next, a preview glitch: I have 537 entries in my .bib file. If I > select them all, a preview is generated in the "integrated" preview > window, without fuss. What do you mean by the integrated window?
