Product:OS X Product Version:10.11 Beta 5 (15A235d)
Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
Spaces behaves incorrectly in 10.11b4 and b5. For example:

* Spaces behaves as if “When switching to an application, Switch to a Space with open windows for the application” was on, even though it isn’t.
* Two spaces: App A is active on Space 1, App B has an open window on Space 1 and Space 2. Switching from space 1 to space 2 will activate app B, and then incorrectly orders front the window for app B which is on *space 1*, forcing you back to Space A.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable “When switching to an application, Switch to a Space with open windows for the application”
2. Open Safari. Open a window on Space 1, and another one on Space 2.
3. Activate Finder by clicking on the desktop.
4. Swipe right to go to space 2.

Expected Results:
5. The Safari window on Space 2 becomes key

Actual Results:
5. The Safari window on Space 1 becomes key, and transports me back to Space 1.

Regression:
This was introduced in beta 4. Beta 3 did not behave like this.

Notes:
Here is a video recording of this behavior:
