Maximizing a floating document window makes the entire UI inaccessible

On Windows 7, with Photoshop CS6, if you drag a document tab out of the main application window, it becomes a floating document with its own window controls for minimize, maximize, and close just like a normal Windows OS document should.  However, if you click the maximize window button, instead of maximizing within the primary application window like document windows are supposed to... the Photoshop document window expands to the full screen and covers up all user interface elements of the primary Photoshop application window.  This makes all user interface elements completely inaccessible.  Pressing the tab key will not show your tools like you'd expect, though shortcut keys still work. 
The only way to get the user interface back is to restore the document window to a smaller size.  If this is a feature, what would it be used for?  Why do document windows in CS6 need to behave differently from the normal behavior of application and document windows on the Windows operating system?

If Adobe were to make the document "maximize" into the application window, there would no doubt be people who want to see it on the whole screen and are used to the way it works in Photoshop CS5 who would be upset.  Plus, that's just not what the Maximize button on a window is supposed to do.
Your workaround is to avoid the Maximize button entirely and use the right-click Fit on Screen function (which really fits to document to the application window) or the keyboard equivalent - Control 0.

  • How do I close a numbers document without closing the entire app?

    Can anyone tell me how I can close a numbers document without closing the entire app? i.e. go back to the folders display page - is this even possible?

    It is not a bug, but a new feature.<br />
    Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
    You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or other menus like the Edit menu (Alt+E) and Bookmarks menu (Alt+B) and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.

  • Is it possible to make the entire keywords hierachy export in the metadata?

    I have created the following Keyword hierarchy in Aperture:
    Location, Europe, Eastern Europe, Croatia, Dalmatia, Split
    In Aperture I only need to add the bottom level 'Split' as a keyword and when I use the search function and insert a word from any of the higher levels (e.g. Croatia) It finds my picture.
    My problem is that when I export that file the Keywords that get exported in the metadata is only the bottom level I first entered (ie Split). This is no use to me when using the files outside of aperture as I may still want to search at the higher levels.
    Is there anyway to make the entire relevant keyword hierarchy be exported within the metadata without have to go back and add all the levels myself?

    Unless things have changes, keywords are not hierarchical at all as a standard. The hierarchy in Ap is used just for managing keyword purposes only.
    So it works within Ap but not when exported. You will have to assign multiple keywords or reestablish similar scheme in whatever other app that your are exporting the image to.

    In this photo it is known there are no items update project

    Hi,
    In PWA, you do not have the feature to update the project plan in one click, meaning marking as completed the work before the status date or reschedule after the status date the remaining work. Either you have to use Project Pro, or edit individually the
    assignments with the actual work (if not comming from timesheets) and remaining work.
    Hope this helps,

  • Why is most of the URL address, except for the domain name, in gray font? It's difficult to read. I would like to make the entire address font in black

    [http://pics.livejournal.com/tersa/pic/006gzfsf Screenshot of the behavior]
    Before I upgraded to Firefox 6.0, the URL address was displayed in black text.
    After upgrading, it is now displaying only the core domain name (e.g, mozilla.com) in black text, while any extra text (like, https://support. ) is grayed out.
    It is very difficult to read this gray text on my monitor. I'd like to make it so that the entire address is displayed in black text, but I couldn't seem to find any kind of configuration setting under Options to change this.
    Please let me know if I can modify the URL display to be all black again.

    That is a new feature in Firefox to highlight the domain in the URL bar. You can change a preference to make the entire URL dark.
    Change a preference:
    #type '''''about:config''''' in the Location/URL bar and press Enter.
    #if you see a warning, accept (promise to be careful)
    #Filter: '''''browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled'''''
    #in lower panel, double-click that item to toggle value to '''''false'''''
    I am not sure whether or not you need to re-start Firefox after doing the above for the change to take effect. Test and if it does not work, then re-start Firefox and test again.

  • Drill down from a line graph? Make the entire graph click-able?

    Guys, i can drill down from other types of charts except a line chart.
    Is there anything that is special about the line chart?
    Also, can i make the entire graph click-able? So, instead of clicking on a bar to trigger a linked report, can the whole chart be a link basically?
    Thanks for your help

    There is not special with the line graph..... Just click on the data symbol to drill or navigate. These settings can be found under the "additional Charting Option" button.

  • Would like to make the entire ALV Grid invisible.

    Hello everyone,
    I have a screen with 2 alv grids on a custom control.
    Now when required I would like to hide one or both the alv grid. How can I do this?
    Custom controls cannot be made invisible. Is there a method in alv which would make  the entire alv grid disappear?
    Thanks in advance,
    Karan

    Custom Control we cannot see directly on the screen output. If one of the Grid you want to make invisible
    then you can follw some thing similar approach ..
    in PBO you will intialize the controls. while initalizing it you pass the wrong Custom control name then it will not display the ALV GRID.
    Custom control name  is name of the Custom control of screen what ever you want to show.

  • How can I hyperlink from FM to an external document and make the links work in PDF-XChange Viewer?

    A couple of months ago some of you kindly taught me how to insert links to an external document in FrameMaker. The syntax that made all the difference, was the following:
    message openfile "H:/folder name/to/your/file.ext"
    I converted my FrameMaker file to PDF format using Acrobat Distiller, and everything worked like a charm when the users opened the resulting PDF document in Acrobat Reader.
    Much to my frustration, someone has now decided that the organisation should use PDF-XChange Viewer instead of Acrobat Reader, and my links don't work anymore... Nothing happens when you click on them. (This only applies to links to external documents. Links to e.g. websites work nicely.)
    Has anybody got any idea what I could do to make the links work in PDF-Xchange Viewer as well? Or am I trying to do the impossible now?
    Best regards

  • Safari auto switches between windows, makes the front window inactive...

    Hi all,
    I'm having a really annoying problem with Safari...
    When I'm browsing quite often the front window kind of deselects itself, say for instance I have a couple of browser windows open and the downloads window, it will automatically bring the downloads window to the front! Meaning I then have to click on the browser window to make it active so I can then continue whatever I am doing... I am not pressing any key commands for this to happen (I know cmd and ~ (tilde) does this as I use it often to switch between windows). It just does it off it's own back, it's like someone else is controlling the window...
    Funnily enough, it's just happened then again! when i'm typing this message, it brought the downloads window to the front and then this one back to the front, in the space of a second or so...
    Thanks in anticipation as this is one **** of an annoying problem!

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try maintenance...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
    And make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
    If you still have problems with Safari, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

  • 11g Process Train: How to make the entire train's width or height larger

    I cannot see how to do this using
    -Property inspector
    -Skins and their appropriate selectors
    I can do this using plain html by setting the table's width, yet again this isn't possible thru ADF, and again, the CSS width attribute doesn't expand the table.
    example (the processtrain renders as an html table):
    <table width="500"> -works, but not possible in ADF
    <table class="..."> (set the width thru the skin/property inspector (does not work)

    Hi,
    skinning will do. Below are the available selectors
    af|train      Top level style class for the entire train component. The number of stops to be displayed step is also specified using the property -tr-visible-stop-count. Valid values must be integers and greater than zero.
    af|train::body      Styles the container which encloses both the train content and the start and end overflow indicators.
    af|train::start-overflow-indicator      Styles the start overflow indicator. The start indicator is specified using a background-image.
    af|train::end-overflow-indicator      Styles the end overflow indicator. The end indicator is specified using a background-image.
    af|train::content      Styles the container which encloses the train content (excluding the overflow indicators).
    af|train::parent-start, af|train::parent-end      Styles the block that encloses the parent-start (and parent-end) elements, such as its icon and label.
    af|train::parent-start-icon-cell      Styles the cell that displays the parent start icon.
    af|train::parent-end-icon-cell      Styles the cell that displays the parent end icon.
    af|train::parent-start-content      Styles the cell that displays the parent process name at the beginning of the train.
    af|train::parent-end-content      Styles the cell that displays the parent process name at the end of the train.
    af|train::join      Styles all joins between stops. Available pseudo-classes are :disabled, :unvisited, and :train-visited.
    af|train::stop      Cell that encloses all the stop elements including icon and content.
    af|train::stop-icon-cell      Styles the cell that displays the stop icon.
    af|train::stop-icon-selected      Used to set the background image for the selected stop.
    af|train::stop-icon-disabled      Used to set the background image for a disabled stop.
    af|train::stop-icon-unvisited      To set the background image for an unvisited enabled stop. Use pseudo-classes :hover and :active to customize look.
    af|train::stop-icon-visited      To set the background image for a visited stop. Use pseudo-classes :hover and :active to customize look.
    af|train::stop-content      Content block that displays the stop name. Use pseudo-class :selected to style content for the currently selected stop. :required to style the required indicator, if stop is selected.
    af|train::stop-link      To skin all links that display the stop name. The pseudo-classes :selected can be used to style a link for the currently selected stop. :disabled to style a disabled link. :visited for a visited enabled stop
    and :unvisited for an unvisited enabled stop. Due to a bug use :train-visited instead of :visited.
    af|train::stop-icon-error      To set the background image for a stop that is in error. This is overlaid on top of the stop icon.
    af|train::stop-icon-warning      To set the background image for a stop that has a warning. This is overlaid on top of the stop icon.
    af|train::stop-icon-information      To set the background image for a stop that has some information. This is overlaid on top of the stop icon.
    af|train::stop-icon-confirmation      To set the background image for a stop that has a confirmation status. This is overlaid on top of the stop icon.
    Note that to increase the icon height and width you most likely have to change the icons

    the tabs were move to above the navigation bar, where the menu bar was. They hardly look like tabs there, but you may have turned off the tabs bars. View (Alt>V) > Toolbars > Tabs Bar

  • Is there a way to make Photoshop CC keep document windows inside the application window?

    I've been a Photoshop user for a long time now, but only recently made the switch from CS3 to Creative Cloud. Generally I really like the changes, but there is one thing I absolutely hate with a passion - the default window management. I often want to arrange my windows side by side, so I disabled the tab mode, but the problem with doing this is that the windows are not managed inside Photoshop as they used to be in CS3. The biggest problem I have is that windows are not contained inside the Photoshop application frame as they used to be. I much prefer the old behaviour and wonder if there is some kind of option to reenable it.
    Anyone know? I notice the Mac version has something called application frame, which sounds like what I need, but it's Mac only for some reason :/

    I'm not a Mac user so don't know what menu it comes under, but Aplication Frame is what turns that feature on and off.  Either Window or View menu would be my guess

  • After upgrading to version 4, maximizing my Firefox browser window changes the menu, navigation, and bookmarks bars to a very dark color scheme

    When the window is 'floating', the colors are normal. Maximized, the background color is near-black and the text has a glowing appearance. I downloaded and and applied a different theme in trying to fix the problem, to no avail. I have never used a dark theme for Firefox, so it should not be a buggy recurrence of an old setting.

    You just need more RAM for the software you are using. Yosemite likes a lot of RAM and an SSD.

  • Float/Untab Document Windows

    Is there any way to make it possible to float document windows properly, like you can for every other piece of the software? By that I mean not locked within the parent window of the app. This was the default for dreamweaver for the longest time, then IIRC there was a lawsuit from adobe claiming Macromedia had stolen the idea from the photoshop interface, so Macromedia got rid of it... then adobe bought them and the old, easier to use with multiple screens format hasn't returned, so far as I can tell.
    Does anyone know a way? I know it's not officially supported in dreamweaver* for some reason I can't fathom, but maybe some change in a config file somewhere? And if not.. why on earth isn't it supported?  I want to be able to have two pages open to compare the code without having to jump through hoops.
