Dialog Boxes stuck on full screen mode in ID4

I run InDesign CS4 on a 15-inch HP Elitebook 8560 connected to two 20-inch monitors running at 1600 X 900 DPI.
Usually, InDesign occupies the left of the two monitors.
Occasionally I telework at home on a single 27-inch monitor.
The computer has no trouble distinguishing between the two setups.
When I do a "Save As" in InDesign CS4, the file name and location dialog box now takes up the full screen of 20-inch monitor.
I try dragging the lower right hand corner with my mouse, but nothing works to make that screen any smaller. Even if I move the mouse to the upper right or upper edge of the screen and click-drag, it stays at full screen.
If I undock the laptop and use its screen, even at a higher resolution, I still cannot drag the corners of the dialog box away from the edges of the screen.
Are there any preferences or keyboard shortcuts I could use to solve this?

To force quit an application, choose Force Quit from the Apple menu (or press Command-Option-Esc), then choose the unresponsive application in the Force Quit window, and click Force Quit.
Optionally, you may be able to Option-right click the application's icon in the Dock and choose Force Quit from the contextual menu.
If this is not an option, hold down the power button (5-10 seconds) until the mac shuts off and then restart.

How to change a dialog box to its ' full-screen' mode ?

There is a dialog box in an application I am writting currently using swing.
The question is, how can I change it to ' full screen ' mode and switch it back to its normal mode ?

To that purpose, you might make use of myDialog.setSize(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize());Hope this helps even though it is not 'true' full-screen. As far as I know, it's as close as you'll get.

Save as dialog box expanded to full screen, edge arrows flicker and will not pull the edges in.

This problem presented itself out of the blue. The Save As dialog box expanded to full screen, and although the arrows that appear when the mouse cursor is over the edge of a window are present, they flicker and do not grab the edge to pull it in. Every other window on the computer does not have an issue like this. Restarting Firefox or the computer does not eliminate the problem. I am hoping that there is a settings file somewhere that the numeric value for the dialog box size can be changed, since I do not want to completely reinstall the browser.
As a side note, if the browser has been running many downloads for a while, it will usually start failing to display information, and eventually will get to a point where the Save As box flickers for an instant and disappears and the entire browser becomes unresponsive for an hour or more. Downloads continue (including the one that it froze up on, albeit as a randomly named file in User...Temp), but it is not possible to restart the browser until the downloads complete (which in some cases can be several hours). Usually I revert to using IE11 until I can restart Firefox.
Perhaps one of my strongest dislikes of Firefox though is the issue with its resistance to copy and paste operations in the Save As dialog box. Most websites offer files with cryptic and even identical names for different files, so renaming files is a critical operation if one is to keep track of and later identify the files one has. A problem unique to Firefox, attempts to highlight and paste in a better file name usually are met with a refusal to paste, a stuck context menu that can take a minute of clicking to clear, repeated jumping to the end of the file name, and other similar issues. I have encountered this problem repeatedly on different computers and different operating systems, it is a problem I have only ever encountered in Firefox.

cor-el,
I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns.

When in Full screen mode.. just press Command-F. Voila!

"Save As" Dialog Box Opens As Full Screen. How to Disable?

At some point my "Save As" dialog box began to open as full screen. Don't know why. There is no way that I can find to get it out of full screen mode. I've looked at the preferences and can't find any obvious control for this behavior. It's not a big deal, but it's very annoying. I've not been able to find anywhere else that this question has been asked.
I tried "Save As Other" and it behaves the same way.
The document itself is not opened full screen.
I'm using Windows 7. Currently I'm running Adobe Reader XI, but the behavior started before that. I think I may have accidentally typed in some combination of keys (or dropped something on the keyboard) that set some kind of option somewhere.
Thanks for any help.

Wouldn't you know it. By entering this question a similar question finally showed up. The answer is to right-click in the top of the window and select "Restore." Problem solved.

ITunes 11.0.2.26 For Windows Stuck in Full Screen Mode

Itunes 11.0.2.26 is in Full Screen mode and I cannot get it out. When I go to "View" the Full Screen Ctrl + F is Paled out. I cannot get it to resize. How can I get it out of Full Screen. I hav Windows Vista Home Premium.
Thanks .

Mine is a brand new machine. Burning software was installed before iTunes was installed. I am looking at this article which points to a possible problem with the GEAR drivers: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
It also points to the afs.sys and afs2k.sys drivers as a potential problem. I've verified that I don't have these drivers on my machine.
When I go to the GEAR site, it tells you to manually uninstall the GEAR drivers and install the latest ones. First, manual uninstall which involves editing the registry. Really? While I'm quite the expert at registry editing, NO CONSUMER should ever be told to edit the registry to delete anything. Second, if in fact the GEAR drivers are the problem, shouldn't iTunes install the right ones? This is a prime example of poor software engineering at its core.

How do i get firefox to not be in full screen mode without a mouse or keyboard?

for some reason Firefox switched to full screen mode and i can't get out of it. I'm using Firefox on a tablet PC running windows 8.1 so using F11 or a mouse is not an option. at least i assume it's full screen mode. i can't see my bookmarks bar, my address bar, or even the windows task menu at the bottom of the screen, where my virtual keyboard is located at. i can get to the settings menu (i have Firefox set to start on a new page) but i can't find bookmark bar, address bar, or full screen settings there. I tried using IE11 to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it but it kept the setting. A "turn off full screen mode" button in the settings would be super helpful or a "force show address bar" button.

By the way, if Firefox is ''stuck'' in full screen mode, I think you could clear that by removing the settings file which stores window dimensions. Here's how:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
''If none of those is available: Use the Run command (or maybe the charms bar search box), type or paste the following and tap Run/Search or Enter on the virtual keyboard:''
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
''Then double-tap into your most recently updated semi-randomly-named profile folder.''
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
''If neither of those is available, try using one of the standard Windows ways of exiting a program.''
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old.
Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?

Finder stuck in full screen with black background on one monitor

Just upgraded to Mavericks on launch day and a day or so later when I went to change the new Mavericks desktop backgound with another image, the Finder appears to be stuck in full screen mode, but raising the mouse to the top doesn't reveal the normal drop back to exit full screen. The background is black as well. When looking into what the OS thinks is the background image, it does show the image that I choose, but I can't see it.
I've rebooted and also tried to reset the desktop by going through these steps:
1: Click "Go" at the top of the finder.
2: Hold down the "Option" key and click "Library"
3: Open the "Preferences" folder.
4: Find the file "com.apple.desktop.plist"
5: Rename it to "com.apple.desktop.plist.old"
6: Reboot your computer.
... but this did not resolve the issue. Any ideas?

I don't even have that file in my Preferences folder. It used to be there in Mountain Lion. Now one of my script won't work because of that.
But I don't have similar problem that you described. I can assign different desktop backgroud images just fine.

Getting out of full screen mode in Messages

I'm using mountain lion and I'm stuck in full screen mode in Messages. How can I get out of that?
thanks for any suggestions.

hi,
So if you move the mouse to the top of the Screen you do not see this (top right) ?
This was a pic of Firefox that I put in Full Screen Mode first.
Then I moved the pointer to the top of the Screen and the Menu Bar appears.
Far Right is the blue reverse action/Windowing icon.
In Firefox I can also enter the View Menu and select the Exit option (from Full Screen) from there once the Menu bar has appeared.
It is late where I am and it will be a while before I reply again.
It is also why I don't have Messages open at the moment.

Aperture 3 - Full screen mode "stuck"

Apologies if this subject is being discussed elsewhere; all I've found are a few orphaned threads with no answers.
The problem: when I toggle into full-screen mode (for, say a single image) I cannot exit. The only way to get out of it is to quit Aperture.
This has persisted for a few weeks now and is making the program almost unusable. Any thoughts/advice?
Thank you,
David

Trashing the prefs worked like a charm. Thanks for the quick and almost painless solution.

How can i print an Excel file when in the full screen mode (no print options on toolbar or right clk

using Vista, sometimes after creating and saving an excel file, the document is not visible when the file is reopened.
selecting full screen mode makes the document visible, but the toolbars disappear and the print option does not show up on a right click. How can i print the document and see the document in some other mode than full screen?

In order to print, you can click the CTRL+P keys to launch the print dialog,
Regarding the missing toolbar, try clicking the ALT key to shouw the software menu, then look around under the view option for any available toolbar settings,
If you cannot find it, i would recommend you to try the Microsoft support forums, as they have some more knowledge with their software features
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos thumb up in the post.

Mail - can't reply in full screen mode

Hi there
I've been enjoying running Mail in Lion in full screen mode. However if I try to reply to a message, I don't get the reply window come up. It fails whether I use the keyboard shortcut, click on the icon or use the menu command.
I have to leave full screen mode to get a reply message window.
Any clues on this?

I found this solution online today it worked for me I hope it solves your problem if you haven't already solved it.
This solved my question by BRegan6 on Oct 29, 2014 2:26 PM
I've just gotten off the phone with Apple Support who solved this problem. Open mail. Go to Mail Preferences/Viewing and Check box "Use classic view". Then open a new mail viewer window (File/New Viewer Window). At this point, assuming you have the same problem that I did where you can only see the window showing emails, but not the email preview window, move your cursor so it hovers right at the bottom edge of the window. The cursor will change to a horizontal bar and an up arrow. Click and drag up a few inches. At this point you should now be able to see the email preview window. Now go back to Mail preferences and uncheck classic view. The window now stays open in non-classic view. Hope this works for you too.

When I go into full screen mode in Safari 5.1 on LION it switches to a new Space, making my other displays useless. Anyone else annoyed that Apple has completely left out those with multiple displays?

I had a fear that this was going to be the case, but you can't have two full screen apps open in two different displays. At least that's how Safari fullscreen works. When switching over to full screen mode in safari, it automatically creats a new space, turns on four finger gesture to swipe through full screen apps which I had turned off in place of App Switcher.
I don't use spaces because of the lack of support for using spaces with multiple displays. I would use spaces and mission control if I had control of each display's mission control separately.
The fix would be to unlink the displays so they can scroll through full screen apps by themselves. I want this feature so I can mix and match the full screen apps on my three different displays. I see this beneficial for more people with multiple displays. in the future when thunderbolt display links, people will want better support too.
I know I would use spaces and mission control more if I could have this ability. I'd be interested to know people's opinion.

No no, if you read what I said, it would be that each individual display would be customizable to the user. The way you have it, it sounds like your second display will be dedicated to scrolling through fullscreen apps not allowing you to do it on the home screen. This is silly because with my concept, you could do that, by dragging apps to fullscreen in your second display, but if you want you could tell another display to scroll through fullscreen apps (independently) if you wanted. Each display will have it's own mission control with it's own set of desktops. I also can see how some people would still want them linked together, so this could just be a little check box made in mission control prefs to "link" or "unlink" desktops with link checked by default.
With your solution you're limited to your setup. but what if the person has three or four displays? Well then your solution would limit them to one dedicated display that scrolls through fullscreen apps where mine lets a person customize their desktops depending on their preference and setup.
further example: if you have safari, address book and mail in one display, you could still have ichat, PS and Illustrator in your second, and a text editor, FTP Client and iTunes in your third. Then you would mix and match these apps but it would promote the use of mulitple displays as well as benefit people with three or more, which thunderbolt, Cinema Display and Pro computers support.
