This reports what I think is a bug in Mac Yosemite vis a vis the Jmol application (and perhaps any Java application).

A few days ago I upgraded from Mac OS 10.10.1 to 10.10.2 (current version of Yosemite). The Jmol application has a new behavior. When I drag its main window from my laptop screen into an external flatscreen (both desktops active), it vanishes. "Mission control" (showing all open apps and desktops) shows the Jmol windows but I can't get them into a working desktop, so I can't use Jmol. If you close Jmol and re-open it, it auto-vanishes.

No other application I have used has this behavior, but Jmol is the only *java* app I'm using.

The only way I've found to use the Jmol app:
1. Unplug my external flatscreen, and Jmol returns to my laptop screen.
2. I can plug my external flatscreen in again as long as I don't drag Jmol into it. I must use the Jmol app only in my laptop screen.

(New 15" MacBook Pro, shipped end of December 2014.)

Comments? Confirmation? Insights?
