Full screen in lion

I'm using Macbookair (2010 product) with OS X lion.
Whenever I use full screen mode, Menu bar reaction looks slow.
Is it normal condition? Is there any method to improve?

I understand your response, and thank you for your input. However, I would respectfully disagree. Two things I believe contradict your stance:
1) I don't think this is the behaviour most people expect of a word processing application. Perhaps of a spreadsheet (wherein the very nature of the program will see data being overwritten frequently) but not of a word processing application. The more prominent use of the ESC key as to adapt the interface from fullscreen to normal screen format also increases the risk of data loss through this counter-intiutive method.
2) Versions is supposed to let me make changes free from fear of data loss, so even if your point that ESC is an accepted standard to "undo my edit" is accepted, this shouldnt preclude versions from performing its job and allowing me to to revert to various stages of that pre-discarded edit. If I am typing a lengthy piece of work, and making various amendments involving the discarding or deletion of sections, versions should (and does) save these edits. Why should it behave differently whether said piece of work is written as body text or in a box or cell?
It doesn't help that there appear to be no user-customisable settings/ options for versions. A sad side effect of the fact that we are expected to just "trust" that father Mac knows best is that it keeps the user from knowing exactly what is and what isn't being saved until they are faced with an issue such as this one.
I have given feedback, and thank you Thomas A Reed also for the bug report.

  • How to add link in full screen email Lion?

    Hi all
    I've been using the full-screen versions of most apps since istalling Lion. Not perfect but I like being able to swipe between screens. However the email function in full screen doesn't allow you to add a link to your message. When you hit compose new message the toolbar functions don't drop down. Am I missing something here?
    thanks
    WG
    Ps - I also have had the Wifi problem which was resolved by setting up network again. Time Machine does seem to take longer to backup with Lion. Finally, also have problems with email where it can't send emails sometimes. None of these dealbreakers for me but hopefully new release version will deal with them!

    You should have a limited toolbar, but the add link button isn't part of it.
    You can add a link using the Edit menu (or cmd-k), or select text and right-click (Link>Add Link…)

  • Google map full screen in lion

    How do I get the actual map area to occupy full screen

    Navigate to maps.google.com, then click the small arrowhead that points left to hide the Google Maps sidebar (it's located just to the right of the Print and Link buttons).  Then, click the Full-Screen button in the top-right of your browser window (Lion has full-screen apps, right?).  That'll get you pretty darn close to full-screen Google Maps as I can think of.

  • Tabs When Full Screen in Lion?

    When running Safari in full screen mode on Lion it looks like there's no way to open multiple pages (tabs) at once?

    Navigate to maps.google.com, then click the small arrowhead that points left to hide the Google Maps sidebar (it's located just to the right of the Print and Link buttons).  Then, click the Full-Screen button in the top-right of your browser window (Lion has full-screen apps, right?).  That'll get you pretty darn close to full-screen Google Maps as I can think of.

  • When will you offer full screen for Lion?

    I was curious if/when you'll be adding a full screen Lion option? I use Firefox 7 and would like this added. :)

    Lion Full Screen app support is in the current Firefox Nightly version, so should ship with Firefox 14 at the latest. I can confirm it's a nice feature and works well.

  • Numbers "full screen" in Lion doesn't display filename.

    Since Apple is hyping full screen use, isn't that rather important considering versioning and all.  Am I missing something?

    Most likely the borked Finder updater. OPTION-click & hold the Finder's Dock icon and select RELAUNCH when that occurs. If it continues, file s but report with Apple.

  • Lion kinda buggy in Safari Full Screen

    While being prompted to us4  Applet to upload or download content through internet sites that require such........ in Safari Full screen mode, Lion changes automatically to first open desktop space instead of staying on Safari Personal Full screen page.   Also happens when downloading or uploading with a few other programs......REAL PAIN..  Advice or Update would be GREAT!!!!!!!!!

  • In Full Screen mode Safari only opens new tabs?

    Safari 5.1 has a preference that lets you set whether or not targeted links open into new tabs or new windows.
    In regular screen mode, this preference works as expected.
    In Full Screen mode (Lion), this preference seems to be ignored, and Safari always opens targeted links into new tabs.
    Is there a preference I'm missing to set this behavior for Full Screen mode?
    The reason I ask is that I would love to use the swipe gesture to switch between different web pages I have open, and so far Safari only seems to use gestures in Full Screen mode to switch between windows, not tabs.

  • Making apps open in full screen by default WITHOUT resume enabled.

    Hi guys,
    I love using apps in full screen on Lion and would like to have all apps capable of it open in full screen by default.  Unfortunately I've found the only way to do this is to have resume enabled which I really don't like as I find it annoying having to exit out of whatever document I was using last whenever word/acrobat etc. open.  Also don't want what I have been browsing on Safari previously to be seen.  I have read from other users in the discussions and in other forums that Lion should remember if you have exited an app while in full screen and will re-open in full screen.  Unfortunately this is not the case for me as I am having to click my apps in to full screen each time I open them.  Does anyone know if there is some sort of preference file I can clear to get this functionality?
    Thanks

    "How does one choose what player to use when , once saved to desktop, they all seem to open the file regardless of the type extension (.ave , .wmv and so on)?"
    You can select a "default" player to open a specific file by following the instructions in #2 of my previous post.
    Just make sure whichever player you download is for the Intel Mac.
    "For instance , say you`re in a forum and there`e is a "hey , look at this...' type of thing. The "look at this" being an attachment of some sort."
    This involves your "browser" plug-ins. Assuming you are using QuickTime, this is done through QuickTime MIME Settings.
    Quicktime>Quicktime Player Preferences>Advanced
    Click on the MIME Settings button.
    Some browsers have their own default player plug-ins that can override QuickTime when you make a player selection on certain website. For instance: Realplayer opens .rm files. QuickTime cannot open .rm files.
    In the next window that opens up make sure that Streaming-Streaming movies is enabled (checked).
    While you’re at it make sure all the boxes are enabled by clicking on the corresponding triangles so that they are pointed down.
    This will show the “hidden” boxes.
    Click the OK button.
    I would restart just to be on the safe side.
    =========================
    Sorry, I am not familiar with Intel Macs. Suggest that if you have any concerns besides QuickTime, you may wish to cross-post in the Intel-based iMac Forums where knowledgeable users using the same model computer as yourself hang out.
    Maybe it would be easier if you would advise the type of player(s) you are interested in? I am assuming QuickTime since you posted in its forum. Are you having an issue making QT your default player?

  • How do I stop the menu from showing up when I hover to the top of a full screen app?

    I am running Parallels in full-screen on Lion and when I move the cursor towards the top of the full screen app the menu pops up. How do I stop the menu from popping up? I keep hitting an icon on the menu bar that pulls it out of full screen mode and it's getting very annoying. Thanks.

    Use VMware Fusion? But seriously, Fusion does what you want. It just puts a mini VM control menu at the top when running full screen (and that's configurable, too), so the main menu bar doesn't appear at all. Which means that it's up to Parallels to handle this. Are you running Parallels 7, which is designed for Lion? If you are and Parallels still doesn't offer something similar, you need to contact Parallels.

  • Just want to ask about the full screen icon that used to be on the play bar but seems to have disappeared since upgrade to mountain lion, any way to get it back?

    Since upgrading to mountain lion I've noticed the full screen icon which used to be on the playback bar in quicktime has gone, I know you can go to the menus to make it full screen but if you're watching something online like with apple trailers I can't seem to make them fullscreen anymore, is it me or have they just taken this option away now?

    I've been playing the trailers in my browser and the full screen option has gone for me,
    As already stated, the icon was replaced by the "Share" pop-up menu icon in the same location.
    and the command-f keys don't work either when I'm playing in a browser and it's truly only been since I upgraded to mountain lion.
    Strange! It works for me. Here is a link to a screen recording of me wayching a trailer in Safari and later watching a trailer download. In both cases the trailer could be expsnded for full screen viewing and then reduced back to the size of the original 720p player display screen. If you can't do this then you may have a player problem also.

    Why did apple make these changes when they worked perfectly the old way, I mean if it ain't broke don't fix it!
    Only Apple whould know for sure but my guess would be that other users may have requested the "Share" pop-up more. Makes no difference to me because I normally use the key shortcuts anyway.

  • Since loading Lion, I've experienced much more instability than Snow Leopard. In particular, Mail crashes with regularity, full-screen apps seem to run slower and show the beach ball more often for longer, etc.  I'm disappointed with the performance. Any

    Since loading Lion, I've experienced much more instability than Snow Leopard. In particular, Mail crashes with regularity, full-screen apps seem to run slower and show the beach ball more often for longer, etc. I love the features, but I'm disappointed with the performance. Any help coming from Apple?  I've been sending them so many reports after crashes, that their file must be full!

    Summoning max. courage, I did what you advised. Here is the result. What does this tell you? My Lion 7.2 (mid 2011 iMac) has several annoying glitches (which I have so far tolerated through gritted teeth) but none that have actually stopped me working.
    BTW, I see several items involving CleanMyMac which I did not know I had. It is generally villified as a trouble-maker. Spotlight can't find an app. or a utility of that name. How can I get rid of what's there please? Just delete?

  • In Lion, Safari pages hang in full screen mode.  If you exit full screen mode, the next page you intended to view appears.

    In Lion, Safari pages hang in full screen mode.  If you exit full screen mode, the next page you intended to view appears.
    This happens nearly every time I use Safari.  I will be clicking on links, when it appears to hang.  By exiting full screen mode, upon minimizing the next page I was intending to view appears.  This does not happen on all websites, but many that I visit.

    Here's a stupid question, but I'm sure I'm not the only one - how exactly DO you minimize the safari fullscreen mode??  I keep reading about orange or yellow tabs which don't exist, at least on my 27 iMac. Control m doesn't work either. I wish Apple would have a basic 3 or 4 page instruction manual on this. Unless there are major bugs still.  By the way, this is only one of many problems I'm having with Safari.  Occasionally the tool bar just dissappears. And, don't get me started about how the dock in Lion simply stopped accepting some icons, including Firefox. None of these problems happened when I first installed Lion. Each upgrade seems to have more bugs, not less.

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.
