How to prevent apps from going weird in Fullscreen mode?

Hi,
since I'm using Mavericks from time to time some apps have problems when running in fullscreen mode (recently Finder had also the same problem without fullscreen). I'm getting an application window like shown in the screenshot below. The only way I've found to fix this is to restart the application - with Finder I even had to do a killall Finder on the Terminal.
Has anyone experienced similar problems and maybe a solution for it?
Best regards
Achim
PS: I'm getting it on both my MacBooks both with single screen and with external display with sync off

Here's another set of screenshots: I had Mail.app in fullscreen mode and switched to the login window - after re-login the app looked like in the screenshot of my first post. I disabled fullscreen mode (the blue icon in the menu bar on the upper right) and it looked like this:
I can drag the window down (like in the screenshot below) but when I release the mouse button it snaps on the top of the desktop (like screenshot above). I cannot rezise etc. the window.
Really weird isn't it?
Best regards
Achim

  • How to prevent apps from syncing in the new version of itunes?

    Hey there.
    I brang my macbook to Applestore cause it had a problem and they downloaded the latest version of itunes. Everything's fine and my music, videos and apps are in the new itunes like before. But now, when I want to sync my iphone, a pop window asks me to give the password of the itunes account I used to download some of my apps or it will delete them and their data. The problem is that one of these accounts is an old friend's one and I actually lost all contact with him. So basically now I can't sync my iphone at all or it will delete all my apps.
    Has anyone any idea how to sort that out? Or at least knows how to prevent apps from syncing in this new version of itunes?
    Thanks for your help

  • Downloads don't prevent ML from going into energy savings mode

    Since installing ML (clean install) most of the downloads (no matter what program) I do cannot be left unattended because as soon as I leave the computer alone, ML eventually goes into energy savings mode, causing my downloads to cease.
    Any idea how to prevent that (other than switching the energy saving off)?

    None of the available setting suit my needs. I could turn the settings to "off" anytime I want to download something, but I never had to do this before on my Macs.

  • How to prevent apps from stealing focus?

    Often when I am running an application in the background, it will steal focus from my active window with a modal dialog box that will pop up in the foreground. Invariably, since I can be a fast typer sometimes, I won't be able to stop myself in time and will often cause the modal dialog box to take some unwanted action. This can have a HIGHLY unpleasant effect! Especially if I've just found myself aborting unintentionally a long job because of the focus stealing!
    I'd like to prevent any application from stealing focus from the active window. Is there any way to set OS X or the finder to prevent this? If not, are there any haxies that I can install that will have this effect?
    (For reference, Microsoft Vista Aero doesn't allow an application to open a window or dialogue above the active window, unless it's a UAC confirmation dialog, which still only opens on a different display layer.)

    YES AAAAAAAAAH THIS IS A REAL AGRESSION TO THE NERVES ! ! !
    I need to meet the dude who decided "hey wouldn't it be a great idea if we had the applications bothering you all the time as soon as they need your attention, instead of just letting you get to them whenever you feel like it ? now where's my promotion ? ^^"
    WHERE IS THIS MORON AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    does anyone know of a 3rd party software that would keep each app where it is whatever happens to it ?
    dammit

  • How to disable app from opening into full screen mode

    Dear all I'm on OSX 10.8.4 and every time i start an app it'll go to full screen even after quiting it and opening the app again. Is there a way to stop this from happening

    Full-screen mode is controlled by you. If you take it OUT of full-screen mode (go to the very top right of the screen, wait for the menubar to drop down, click the blue inward-facing arrow icon), and THEN quit the app, it will remember the preference and open in normal windowed-mode next time.

  • How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory?

    Hello guys
    I'd like to know How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory but still keep their power of creating new folders in their personal 'my folder'?
    I tried changing the 'manage privilage ---- create folder' to deny certain user accounts, but by doing so, it also stops the user from creating new folders in their 'my folder', which is not good..
    I also tried going into these share folders and tried different access types such as 'change/delete', 'read', 'traverse folder' etc, but none of it work ideally. The 'change/delete' access still allows them to create new folders, 'read' access prevents creating new folders but also take away their power of saving reports..
    Any thoughts on how to take away their ability to ONLY create new folders in share folder areas without affecting their other privileges?
    Please advise
    Thank you

    Easy, on the shared folders root folder only give them 'read' or 'traverse folder' but on the the folder inside the shared folders root folder give them 'change/delete'. That means they can change anything inside those folders but not create any folders at the shared folders root level.

  • Is there a way to prevent apps from reopening on startup?

    I like to shut my computer down without closing each app but I don't want to have them all reopen on start up.
    Is there a way to prevent apps from reopening on startup without having to close them all before shutting down?
    I found the checkbox to prevent apps from opening in their previous state but they still open to their previous state after a restart.
    Thank you in advance,

  • How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables ...

    How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables to get an inline view which is used in an update statement?
    O.K. I think I have to explain what I mean:
    When joining two tables which have many entries sometimes it es better not to use an index on the column used as join criteria.
    I have two tables: table A and table B.
    Table A has 4.000.000 entries and table B has 700.000 entries.
    I have a join of both tables with a numeric column as join criteria.
    There is an index on this column in table A.
    So I instead of
      where (A.col = B.col)I want to use
      where (A.col+0 = B.col)in order to prevent Oracle from using the index.
    When I use the join in a select statement it works.
    But when I use the join as inline view in an update statement I get the error ORA-01779.
    When I remove the "+0" the update statement works. (The column col is unique in table B).
    Any ideas why this happens?
    Thank you very much in advance for any help.
    Regards Hartmut

    I think you should post an properly formatted explain plan output using DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY including the "Predicate Information" section below the plan to provide more details regarding your query resp. update statement. Please use the \[code\] and \[code\] tags to enhance readability of the output provided:
    In SQL*Plus:
    SET LINESIZE 130
    EXPLAIN PLAN FOR <your statement>;
    SELECT * FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY);Usually if you're using the CBO (cost based optimizer) and have reasonable statistics gathered on the database objects used the optimizer should be able to determine if it is better to use the existing index or not.
    Things look different if you don't have statistics, you have outdated/wrong statistics or deliberately still use the RBO (rule based optimizer). In this case you would have to use other means to prevent the index usage, the most obvious would be the already mentioned NO_INDEX or FULL hint.
    But I strongly recommend to check in first place why the optimizer apparently seems to choose an inappropriate index access path.
