Fixed window when replying in full screen mode is limiting - any fix?

If I have mail in full screen mode then click reply to an email, the message scrolls up from the bottom of my screen, ready for me to type. The problem is that it's then the only active window and sometimes I want to click on one of the windows in the background to copy some text that I wish to paste into my reply. Is there a way to prevent this? Graphically it looks beuatiful, but practically it's very limiting and only happens whenin full screen mode.

Unfortunately, that is a problem that exists in OS X when working Full Screen mode. I find full screen mode to be problematic at best and don't use it for that reason. I just enlarge the individual windows that I'm working with manually by clicking and dragging the lower left corner of the window.
Hope this helps

How to activate windows screensaver in PDF full screen mode?

Hey everyone!
We have some PDF based product presentations that we show on plasma screens. Recently we renewed our computes and switched from Vista to Windows 7, as well as Adobe Reader 9.3 to X.
Since this change the Windows screensaver doesn't activate when a PDF document is displayed in full screen mode.
I've already tried to install Adobe Reader 9.3 again, but it seems that this has nothing to do with the Reader version but with Windows 7.
Can someone please confirm this? I want to get sure this is indeed the case with Windows 7.
The more important question is: How can I get the sceensaver running again?
Thank you in advance!

On Windows, this will be fixed in Firefox 30 (the next release, currently in [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/beta/ beta]). In the mean-time there are apparently [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517870#c35 workarounds].
For Mac OS X & Linux however, this is not fixed yet.

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.

The color of the web site looks wrong when switched to full screen mode.

I was in a game website.
When I switched to full screen mode, the black text changed into blue text.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Today, when using the full screen mode, when I switch out of it, its automatically returning to full screen mode one second later. And ideas?

Lightroom is acting up today. If I enter the fullscreen mode to view images, when I try to exit out of it back to the library or develop mode, after one second its returning back to the full screen mode. The only way to exit is to command Q. Any ideas?

Found this on another thread. Havent tried it yet, but am about to.

Screen Mode with Menu…..Full Screen…. then the Full Screen Preview (this is was my issue) Once in Full Screen Preview I got out of it using the escape key which worked…. Then I hit the F-Key which again took it into Full Screen Preview then I tried the F-key to get out and it worked!!….. "

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

Flash Player crashes when going into full screen mode

Hey guys! It's basically as the title implies. Whenever I am watching a video and attempt to go into full screen mode, flash player crashes and I get an error window reading "Adobe Flash Player 11.3 r300 has stopped working". As a matter of fact, it doesn't even happen all the time. It happens most of the time, however. It has happened even immediately after searching for and installing the newest version. What might be causing this and what can I do to resolve it? I am using Windows 7 32-bit and Firefox as my browser.
Thanks in advance friends!

this may be hardware related. try unselecting "Hardware Acceleration..."
right click a movie or flash content and uncheck the box in the first tab in Settings. quit out of the browser and try fullscreen again.

Hi,
as per below method, you can pass correct values to parameter WINDOW_FEATURES.
call method lr_port_manager->navigate_absolute
exporting
navigation_target = navigation_data-target
navigation_mode = navigation_data-navigation_mode
window_features = navigation_data-window_features
window_name = navigation_data-window_name
history_mode = navigation_data-history_mode
target_title = navigation_data-target_title
context_url = navigation_data-context_url
post_parameters = ABAP_FALSE
use_sap_launcher = abap_true
business_parameters = bus_parameter_list
launcher_parameters = launcher_parameter_list.
It has values,
RESIZABLE- Windows can be resized
WIDTH- Width of the window
HEIGTH- Height of the window
I hope this will help you.
Thanks,
Chandra

Strange behavior when editing in full screen mode

Very recently, Aperture has been acting very strange when I edit in full screen mode. When I make adjustments, the histogram completely disappears. When I reverse the adjustment, the histogram reappears and if I make the same adjustment again, the histogram looks normal. After a a few more adjustments, half of my screen goes black making editing impossible. Anyone else ever experience anything like this?

yup. this usually means your system's graphic card is low on buffer cache, for example, you're running 256MB of cache on graphic card. graphic cards will run on 256MB of cache but if you're going to do photography/graphic work more buffer cache is better like 512MB or if you can afford it 1.5GB of cache, then your refresh rates will speed up

Flex GUIs get a bad performance in normal screen mode when switched from full screen mode

Hi, there :
I encountered an odd situation and it is only happens on IE. Our project is a Flash 3D Game using Stage3D, and the Game's GUIs are created by CS6. When our game switch from the full screen( StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE or StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN ) to normal screen ( StageDisplayState.NORMAL ), the performance of the Game GUIs decline to approximate a half FPS of full screen mode. But this condition is only happens on IE.
The Game is normal screen when it is initialized and the performance is as same as fullscreen. The performance degradation only happens after switching to normal screen mode from full screen mode.
p.s. : When the mouse is out of the view, the performance become better, from 20 fps up to 50 fps. But is still not as same as the original 60 fps.
p.s. 2 : My colleague told me the Flash Pro CS6 be used to built a single swc file per GUI, and then package all ui swc files to one swc file by Flex Framework SDK( the command is "compc" ). and the IE version = 9.0.8112.16421, the Flash Player Version = 11.6.602.155.
p.s. 3 : I have utilized Adobe Profiler Scout to observe the application, and I found that when it switches to normal screen mode from full screen mode, the time 「Waiting for GPU」 in 「Inactive」 grows up from 10ms to approximate 30ms which is triple. And in the 「Activity Sequence 」tab, it shows that the 「Waiting for GPU」 happens in the 「Copying to screen 」in 「DisplayObject List」.
Thanks

This does sound like a specific bug with IE. It would be great if you could file a bug report here (https://bugbase.adobe.com/), so we can get somebody to look into it.
btw, Flex is really not a good framework for games - it's really slow and heavyweight. If you're just wanting some lightweight UI elements, you might want to check out the Feathers framework, which is built on top of Starling: http://feathersui.com/

Full screen mode problems on Windows XP

I've added a full-screen feature to an application. Everything works fine for me. MacOS+Safari. But I another developer on my team is having problems...
He says, "In my Windows XP environment using Internet Explorer 8.0.6xxx I experience the following:
when change to full screen mode, the application does not resize. The browser clearly switched and takes entire screen by our main panel stays the same size and is displayed in the corner.
when in full screen mode no mouse activity works at all, system is unusable
sometimes I see standard message regarding using <esc> key to wexit full screen and our message regarding some keyboard functions won't work. These messages do not appear all the time."
(The second message he refers to is something I wrote, not a system message).
Apparently, if he clicks escape, the application returns to within the browser window, and everything works as normal again.
Has anyone else experienced this behaviour switching to full-screen?

I just found this great site, America Free TV, for watching streaming movies. It goes to full screen mode, but after 15 minutes, it stops and reverts back to the normal size. This is the link I paste into my Quicktime to open a URL stream:
http://www.horrorfree.tv/unicast_mov/AFTVHorrorH264250.mov
Based on "site information," would conclude that the URL cited above is an H.264 file streamed as QVGA at 250 Kbps. Don't see why it would ever have been "full screen" unless you set this mode yourself or you were watching two different files and each was presented differently. In that case, I assume switching files would re-set to default dimensions. Only other thing I can think of is a "periodic scripted refresh" and have no idea if/how that would be done.
Anybody know how I can keep it from reverting to the regular screen? I can't seem to find any posts here about this particular quirk.
Believe this action would be automatic, but you can, of course, revert to "Full Screen" on your end. (I.e., Command-F or selecting "Full Screen" in View menu if watching in QT Player.)
Also, anyone know a different URL I can test to see if it is only this site and their channels?
Go to the Home Page or Index Page.

Thunderbolt display changes colour temperature when in full screen mode

27" Thunderbolt Display connected to MacBook Air (2011) changes colour temperature when in full screen mode. Switching any setting in System Preferences/Displays changes it back to the correct colour. I have also seen this on a 24" LED Display (Display Port) connected to a Mac Book Pro (2011).

I describe my problem here. I think it's similar, can you see if the console gives you the same error?

Mobile Safari Crash when using an iFrame in Full Screen mode (Icon launch)

Platform: iPad 2/3/mini iOS 8.1 (Other versions seem to show the same behavior)
The Problem:
I am making an html5 app that is running in full screen mode by adding it to the homescreen and using the <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"> tag to hide Safari.
When altering the source of an iFrame to an asset (mov, mp3, etc), Safari in turn will crash ONLY when in full screen mode. If I am browsing my app out of full screen mode, the assets load without a problem.
The odd thing is, the default browser player for these assets change in appearance when using the full screen mode.
I have setup a page to reproduce the crash:
Navigate to: http://instapark.me/roi
Click on the big red mp3 button, an mp3 will play in the iframe.(No crash)
Click on the big red mov button, an mov file will play in the iframe. (No crash)
Add to your homescreen.
Launch from homescreen icon.
Click on the big red mp3 button, an mp3 will play in the iframe.(No crash, but it will not play.)
Click on the big red mov button, an mov file will play in the iframe. (crash!)

It is already switched off because it's a known issue that the macbook pro mid 2010 has kernel panics with the discrete gpu.
Any other guesses?
*Also please note that this is probably a safari issue since chrome works fine. But I can't read crash logs so any help would be appreciated.
