Open Radar

 
Summary:
In Mountain Lion, there is a setting called "When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application" in the Mission Control preference pane. I expect this checkbox to apply to all applications, regardless of the means to activate/switch to this application. However, in 10.8.2, clicking the Finder icon on the Dock always switches to a space with open Finder windows even when this checkbox is unchecked. Switching to Finder via Command-Tab honors this setting, as does switching via AppleScript.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Mission Control prefpane, uncheck "When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application"
2. Open one or more Finder window in one space, e.g Desktop 1
3. Switch to another space, e.g. Desktop 2
4. Click Finder icon on the Dock

Expected Results:
Finder becomes activated (its name and men is displayed to the right of Apple menu on top left corner) without leaving the other space (Desktop 2)

Actual Results:
Dock switches to the space with open Finder windows (Desktop 1), activates Finder, and bring one of its Finder to the frontmost

Regression:
The problem seems to always occur, as long as one clicks on the Finder icon on the dock.

Notes:
The problem does not occur, if
a) one uses Command-Tab to switch to Finder, or
b) one executes `osascript -e 'tell app "Finder" to activate'` in Terminal, or
c) one executes the above AppleScript in AppleScript editor
