Random space switching issue

Solution 1:

This is because by default Chrome is assigned to the first space. I believe this problem arises when you install Chrome and then enable Spaces afterwards. I have also experienced the problem and it is frustrating.

Here is the solution:

  1. Find the Chrome icon in your Dock
  2. Right-click on it (or control + click with a one button mouse)
  3. Mouse-over the Options sub-menu
  4. Under "Assign To" set the option to "None"

Here is a screenshot:
