Bill, This happens when a program isn't "told" to "stay" on a particular screen. The new version of spaces is so weak compared to what they had before but you can get what you want.
I open as many "windows" as I will need, then I go to one and open the program for that "space", then go to the icon in the dock and go to "options" and tell the program to only open in "this" space (or whatever the wording), then change to the next space and open the program for that space and assign it to that window. I keep doing this until I have gotten all the programs I want to use placed in their spaces, I think I use around 8 and since I have dual monitors I assign them to the respective monitors as well. But, if I have a program open that I have not assigned to a space it will move with me to whatever window is open so going from space 7 to space 3 the floating program moves with me. The only way I know to stop this is to assign that program to a specific space. If anyone knows a better way Bill and I both would like to know.
