Intrusive 'Dock' in Full Screen Mode

I recently moved from a 2009 24" iMac to a current 27" model. Operating system is 10.6.6 with Lr at 3.3. I migrated Lr rather than a fresh install. And here's an odd thing. Since the move, Full Screen no longer overrides the Mac Dock at the bottom of the screen. Not the end of the world; but nevertheless irritating as it clashes somewhat with the filmstrip.
I could of course hide the Dock when using Lr, but on the old machine - and from what I can glean from the text books and Help - that was by default an automatic function. Further, from what I can see there is no obvious Preference option in either Lr or OS X.
Anyone have any clues on how to resolve this? I surely cannot be the only one.

did you change your screen resolution to the native for the 27" display,  2560x1440?
Yes, I changed to that in System Preferences/Displays/Resolution. Only way to fill the new screen. Do you think changing to that might have caused the glitch; or had you in mind it might have been caused by my not having done so? 
Whichever, your thought has sparked another with me. Perhaps re-installing Lr might trigger some sort of configuration contact within the now established 27" resolution. I will try that when I have a spare half hour. Cannot see that it would cause harm. Unless someone knows better.
Thank you for your interest in this.

    Well, it doesn't work consistently here.  I have Dock Hiding on.  When a screen does not contain a full screen app, it works fine.  Moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen (where I have the dock) pops up the dock as expected.  If the screen has a full screen app in place (usually Mail or Safari), the behaviour is very inconsistent.  Moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen, waving it back and forth, up and down, with the odd click, will bring up the dock in maybe 10 to 15% of attempts.  Take the app out of full screen, and it works perfectly.  Put it back in full screen, stops working.  This is a new MacBook Pro with 10.7.1
    Any ideas welcome.  Meanwhile, Im getting used to the four finger squeeze to bring up the Launcher.

  • How to disable dock in full screen mode?

    Hi, every time im full screen the dock are bugging me. Exemple, when i'm on Facebook on Google Chrome in full screen and I want to write something in the chat, the dock pop-up. Is there a way to disable dock when i'm in full screen mode? I'm on a MBP mid 2012 running Maverick.
    Thanks you!

    Alternatively you can use the same principle anywhere on the screen, you do not have to scroll to the bottom.  Simply move the cursor to the screen edge where your dock is then move the cursor the same direction again. You do have to briefly pause between the two movements but you can do this anywhere the dock is located, it does not have to be at one position on the screen.  That should speed things up a bit and prevents the dock from appearing by inadvertently scrolling to the side or the bottom.
    If you can, get a Magic Trackpad, Lion navigation works very well with one of these, I think that the days of the mouse are numbered.  The numbers of gestures available with the Magic Trackpad is extensive in Lion.

  • How to show dock in full screen mode

    Hello,
    I'm wondering how to get the dock to show up temporarily in full screen mode. When I place my cursor near the bottom of the screen in a full screen app, the dock doesn't pop up. Is this normal and if so, how do I switch between full screen apps without using gestures on the mouse? I'm really hoping that this is a bug.
    Thanks

  • Do not show the Mac menu bar and the Dock in full-screen mode option not available

    "Remote Desktop Connection" for mac has an option to
    hide the menu bar in full screen mode.  I am unable to locate this option in the new
    Microsoft Remote Desktop.  Without this option the remote desktop connection bar becomes completely inaccessible.  And since the old "remote desktop connection" program has poor support for windows 8.1 I cannot go back.
    Is there a workaround?  Can you please add this important feature back in?

    H,
    I am afraid that we have no solution or workaround for this. I will help to submit this as a customer wish to the product team.

  • Dock wont go away in Full Screen mode

    When entering full screen mode <F> the Finder Dock is still visible - it didn't use to be....

  • Dock won't hide in full screen mode

    When editing pictures in full screen mode, the dock does not disappear. I don't think it's always been this way -- I could swear that it used to disappear, which is what I want it to do. With the way it is now, i have to manually hide the dock in order to get to the bottom picture editing toolbar.
    Perhaps the issue is unrelated to iPhoto, because whenever I change a dock setting by right-clicking in the space bewteen the left and right parts of the dock, I have to choose the option twice before the setting sticks.
    Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Alan
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Seems like a Dock issue rather than an iPhoto one. Does it also happen with other full-screen apps: for instance, with iTunes Visualiser in Full Screen mode?
    What might be worth trying is to trash the com.apple.dock.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to log out and back in. This will reset the dock to the out-of-the-box settings. You'll need to make your settings again.

  • Aperture 3.1 - Love Full Screen Mode, Hate The System Lock-Ups

    Hi Guys,
    I don't know if I'm the only person encountering this issue but Aperture 3 is driving me nuts. While I absolutely love the program and the full-screen mode, what I hate is the frequent lock-ups that force me to completely restart my iMac. Having the application lock-up is highly annoying but at least in "normal" mode I could kill the application from the Dock or Activity Monitor. However, when I'm operating in full-screen mode then I can't switch out of the application and seem to have no option but to completely restart my computer. This problem, which I first started experiencing with version 3.0 but which does seem to have been addressed in version 3.1, is happening so often that I'm afraid now to even use full-screen mode.
    This problem only, to my memory, seems to happen when making adjustments but it does not seem to matter which adjustment. In the most recent occurrence the lock-up happened when I cancelled the application of a Crop by clicking the X icon on the Crop HUD.
    Does anyone know either a) what might be causing the lock-ups, or b) how I can kill Aperture without having to completely restart my computer?

    You could also set up SPACES to see if that works when lock up occurs in full screen
    Apple Icon > System Preference > Desktop & Screen Saver > Hot corners
    I have bottom left set to spaces
    Then drop the mouse to bottom left, 4 windows appear, drag aperture to a seperate window and run there, you desktop is in a different space and can be accessed by bottom left of screen mouse movement (if the mouse works when A3 locks up)

  • I can't restore my toolbars and the "full screen" mode button is NOT at the top right-hand corner of my browser (or anywhere else)

    My toolbar and menu is gone from Firefox. I have tried closing the browser and opening new ones and all the suggestions in the help forums on this website (as well as several others). Pressing "alt", "F10", "F11" and SEVERAL other things have NOT helped.
    There is no full screen mode button anywhere on my browser and when I put my cursor at the top of the window, NO menu options appear at all.
    I normally would quit Firefox but the icon won't appear in my dock and my computer won't let me eject the application (to download again) because apparently it's in use (even when I've closed all windows).

    F11 doesn't work on a Mac to toggle full screen mode.
    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).

  • 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.

  • Safari Full Screen Mode not full screen

    In full screen mode in Safari 7 I cannot hide the tool bar.  Hide toolbar is greyed out. This used to be possible in the previous version of Safari.  Is there a way round this?
    Curiously most of the toolbar can disappear in non full screen mode.
    David

    Hmm, i think i phrased original question badly, i am looking for auto-hide to be featured in normal window mode as well as fullscreen, and whatever else designers and programmers can dream up and not execute poorly.
    I have now disabled all EXTENSIONS and removed all 3rd party bars (google, sharethis, never used nayway;) and as my suspicions confirmed Safari is running much better. I was very suspicious of this when it was added as it seemed like trying to match Firefox, which I also gave up some time ago in place of Chrome as my second browser, although I use Safari for 90%. The extensions i think causes freezing when i had Parallels running a Windows VM at the same time and also other times when not.
    The extensions is a bit stupid in my opinion as any niggling, minor feature of a website should be addresses to the website rather than the browser. Where adverts are concerned, well, just use the web less or more specifically!
    I think I'm fine with Toolbar/URL-search and bookmark bar, its great - simple and not intrusive. I believe EXTENSIONS introduction gave me some sort of weird mental outlook and would urge Apple to be more careful in bringing in different types of features unnecessarily.

  • How to show controller in full screen mode

    During DVD playing, switching to full screen mode the controller disappears and we can use only the bar at bottom with the essential commands. No possibility to use the rallenty, for instance, which is available opening the drawer of the main controller. The function can be activated through the key board but is not so direct. Does some body know if it is possible to have the complete controller visiblealso in full screen mode?
    Thanks

  • Empty space while in full screen mode

    Hi there, today after the installation of OSX Maverick, i've started to experience some problems with the new dock bar. When i try to use VLC in full screen mode, i see an empty space on the top of the screen, and the dock bar on the top does not wants to hide away of the monitor. I printed a screenshot of my monitor that you can see down there, and i'd like to know if there's someone else with my same issues, or if it's me, and i just need to set up my MacBook Pro, to solve that.
    On the top of the picture you can see that there's still an empty space, where i can still see my background image.http://imageshack.us/f/196/go1p.png/
    Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english. Cheers.

    I have the same problem at times. I exit full screen and then enter back into full screen. Does that work for you?

  • I can't see the double arrows to access to full screen mode

    I have a imac (the pretty big one) with OS 10.7 and i can't see the double arrows to access to full screen mode in any application. Even Safari or other native software don't work. Did anyone have a clue for me please ?
    The combiantion Ctrl-Cmd-F doesn't work neither.
    I have a macbook air with the same OS and it works perfectly.
    Thanks in advance.
    Alan

    Ok, that didn't work and only closed out this window in discussions. After it closed this one I tried again doing the same but nothing. Makes sense though because if it closed this one out it would close everything else out on my desktop too. This is like a giant screen saver. All my other .jpg icons are still on my desktop over the top of this big pic. Is it possible this is what it is, just a screensaver? I did the same with another pic from the same website and it didn't do this. I clicked on my mouse to save a pic to the desktop and this monstrous thing appeared.  My dock is still there and the top bar that has the apple, Safari, edit, etc., but not anything else that you would normally click on to close a window. 

  • Full screen mode not working in Mountain Lion

    I'm using the new Retina Macbook Pro. The full screen mode to preview pictures and movies is not working; the dock still remains open when the full screen is open. I have to manually hide the dock by pressing command + D and do the same to open the dock again. This doesnt seem to an OS issue because my Macbook Air, which is also running Mountain Lion is doing just fine. I can preview a picture and the dock automatically hides.
    Has anyone experienced the same issue? What is the fix for this problem?

    Bingo! Problem solved. I didn't realize that you could "right click" the mouse over the "resize" icon in full screen mode. When I did that I found I was in the tiny postcard mode. Selecting "full screen" got me back to where I used to be..enjoying the tv shows in full screen mode. Kinda of weird. Choosing "full screen" from the menu bar didn't make the show full "pictured" though I was in full screen mode. But while in the full screen mode, I could right-click and choose "full screen" and there I be, watching a show in "full pictured". Learned something new.
