Scrollbar-less windows extending below edge of screen?

The MacBook I'm using right now running Mac OS 10.6.8 occasionally has an annoying problem where a window is too long for the screen, but the resize tab (if there is one) is thus also below the bottom edge of the screen.  Is there some setting in System Preferences I can change to address this problem, or some other way of handling it?  Thanks!

Very true!  Regrettably, the green button is greyed out in this case for some reason, I don't know why.

  • Set doc to only popup when move mouse WAY below edge of screen?

    Has someone ever come up with a way to manage the Dock?
    Ideally, I'd like to set it so that it NEVER pops up unless I move my mouse WAY below the edge of the screen.
    Right now, it always gets in the way of using my apps.
    Or, just a specific corner to set it off?
    Just some way to stop it from popping up when I'm trying to work with a Pro app, where I'm often at the edges of the screen.

    Thomas - I don't want to give up any screen space.
    On Windows XP, I have a small icon where I can pop up a screen that has all program icons I choose, arranged like I want in groups.
    Leopard is not Windows, fortunately. If you want Leopard to be more like Windows, then in the end why not use Windows?
    Comparisons between different OSs, to me, is usually meaningless. I use Vista and XP on PCs as well as Leopard and Tiger and Windows on my Macs.
    I don't bother with comparisons.
    If you want a new feature in Leopard, you can suggest it to Apple here:
    https://bugreport.apple.com/
    You can also search the net for various hacks to do exactly what you want to do or you can get creative and create your own hack.
    I'd be very happy to kill off the doc - as it only works for so many programs before becoming cumbersome, and seems just a feature to amaze Mac neophytes with a cool effect, until they start getting annoyed with it.
    As a non-neophyte who has been using computers for a very long time, including Unix mainframes, I don't see the dock as a "cool effect" and I do not find it annoying.
    If you spent more time in a terminal, perhaps you would see the difference between Leopard and Windows and find some really "cool" stuff down under the hood, where we non-neophytes usually hang out.

  • Bridge CS6 did not download, PS window over extends below Mac icons at bottom

    I subscribed to CS6 and Bridge CS6 is not activated. When I try it takes me back to Bridge CS4. Also, my PS window extends below my laptop icons so that I am not able to see bottom icons from my layers pallet. I've try to get tech support for 3 days. Spending 3 hrs waiting on the phone 1st day, 3.5 hrs on the second(my phone number was taken by contact person but did not received same and today I've waited since 10 am and it's 10:30 pm(via prompter I was told to expect a call back at 11:30 am). I don't understand what is the problem? When I subscribed there was a friendly operator to sign me up without a hassle.

    Screenshots tell a lot. I would guess, though, that it works ias it always has - by default, PS will open in fullscreen and if you don't auto-hide your dock and keep it in teh forerground all the tiem, naturally it will interfere with any app running in fullscreen. For Bridge, you can change the associations manualyl in the Bridge prefs and enabling/ disabling the relevant startup scripts.

    Dear Experts,
    I Developed Screen-exit For IW51 t.codeTypically the custom fields are displayed in the notification on a separate tab, or at the bottom of the u201CGeneralu201D or u201CMainu201D tab.  These are configuration decisions that could be made in the build phase.
    Sets of custom fields need to be added based on the notification type.  The following table provides a list and details of the custom fields required.  The table to be extended is the VIQMEL table (to be verified by developer).
    Also to extend header fields on the notification you need to include them in the include CI_QMEL where OPEX M&I has already fields in.
    All fields should go on the notification header.  There are no custom fields on the task or activity level.
    All fields should be reviewed for consistency with the M&I design, specifically, Thomas Brothers, Atlas Sheet, district code. See Dale Alano.
    Please any Body Helped Coding For this, Already i Created Customfields , I design Subscreen also using Enhancement QQMA0001. Using Exit name EXIT_SAPMIWO0_008 USIN SUBSCREEN 0104 PLEASE ANY BODY help me Coding for this IW52

  • I have a 16" mac book pro. The bottom of the Photoshop image window is below my screen view..

    I have a 16" mac book pro. The bottom of the Photoshop image window is below my screen view. I cannot shrink my Photoshop window!   I tried changing the Display what else can I do?

    You cannot size the image window from any corner but the bottom right corner in Photoshop on a MAC
    That was true for many years...but not anymore. Adobe started allowing window resize from any edge (not just any corner, but any edge) a couple of versions ago, on the Mac, to match Windows. On top of that, in OS X Lion, Apple itself now allows window resizing from any edge in any application. That said, even in Lion, I noticed that I had to move the Photoshop CS6 window edges away from the monitor edge before I would get the double-arrow resize pointer. Not sure if that's a bug. Here's a picture of what Photoshop window resizing looks like:
    Also, if resetting workspaces doesn't work, you could try a complete Photoshop preferences reset. Start Photoshop CS6 and press Command+Option+Shift, and a reset dialog box should come up. Click OK.

  • When pulling down a long pulldown menu, the menu, instead of starting a new row, will extend past the bottom and behind the browser so that I can't navigate to an item that's below/behind the screen.

    When pulling down a long pulldown menu, the menu, instead of starting a new row, will extend past the bottom and behind the browser so that I can't navigate to an item that's below/behind the screen. FF should be making a second row for these long pulldown menus, right?

    Nope, there is no second row. There should be a scroll arrow "button" at the bottom and the top of that drop-down to allow you scroll, or you can use the scroll wheel on the mouse scroll further down (or back up).

  • Safari windows don't fill up screen when zoom button is clicked

    Hello, when I use the MacMini I have at work and click the zoom button on a Safari window if fills up the screen, except for the dock, but when I do that on my iMac at home it shrinks and moves the window to the lower left corner below the display edge. If there were a way to attach grab shots I could post it on here. Any idea what would be causing this? Thanks!!

    HI,
    There isn't any full screen mode for Safari alone, you would need to download and install Glims so you can enable the Full Screen Mode and it works like a charm.

  • Windows snapping to upper left screen

    Occasionally, when I click on the icon of a running application (Calendar, Thunderbird, Firefox) in the dock, it will appear on the screen in the upper left corner instead of where I left it last. Furthermore, it will usually appear shrinked (sometimes really small), the left edge of the window will be beyond the screen border, and if I try to drag it back into the main part of the screen, it snaps right back to where it was.
    The only way I've been able to recover is to quit the application and restart it.  Upon restarting, it usually still has the same size problem, but I can resize and move it.
    I only have one display and I just double-checked in System Preferences to be sure that the OS only thinks there is one display.
    Here is a shot of what it looks like when Calendar gets stuck in the upper left corner:
    That isn't the entire window (I didn't want to expose the details of my life's schedule ) but you can see that the window extends beyone the edge of the display.
    Any ideas?

  • Organizer window's top edge above the monitor

    When I open Organizer, the window extends beyond the top of the monitor screen.  This removes from my reach all of the controls that sit on the top edge of Organizer.  Aside from this problem, Organizer works.  I can stretch the window, but I cannot get to the top of it, so I cannot stretch it downward.  Right clicking the icon that is on the bottom bar of Vista brings up the Move option but not the Restore option.  Move is unable to grab any place in Organizer. I have changed the screen resolution but none of the various settings makes any difference. The folks the Adode help desk tried a few fixes but all failed, and they advised me to uninstall/reinstall Photoshop.  I had the different problem two months ago, and the help desk walked me through a reinstall, which resulted in a total disaster  - the tags on most of the thousands of photos got scrambled and I had to re-tag all of them.  So, I am looking for an alternative. Thanks.
    Editor works fine.
    Organizer presents the same problem whether I open it first, or open it while in Editor.
    PSE 7.0
    Vista Home Premium

    Joe's solution works on my PSE 7.  If it doesn't work on yours you could delete the Organizer's preferences:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#Delete_the_Organizers_pr eferences
    This won't lose any of your tagging, but you will have to reset any options you've set in Edit > Preferences.

  • When I open a document in InDesign CC the window extends underneath the panels.

    Prior to CC, InDesign would open my document windows with the right edges of them stopping where the left edge of the panels start. Now it opens them with the windows extending underneath the panels. Any ideas on how to get them to open the old way? It's a minor inconvenience, but it's like a tiny splinter and has been bugging me for a while. Thanks.

    Tried, no dice. Even tried closing all panels, then just opening one (Pages) to see if I could get that right. Nope. :-/
    These screengrabs show the right side after I tried opening a new document. I made the changes with no documents opened.

  • Why is firefox extending below the taskbar and how do I fix it?

    Just tonight Firefox only has started extending below the task bar so the bottom of the window/webpage isn't visible. I have had to Not use full size in order to see the whole window/webpage. This isn't happening with any other browser or program and didn't start until tonight. No new hardware or software had been installed recently.

    Several users have reported problems over the past year with the bottom of the Firefox window going either behind or in front of the Windows task bar. Obviously the correct behavior for a maximized window is to fill all the space above the Windows task bar. I haven't seen a definitive cause and solution in the threads I checked, so here are some things to try.
    First, you may want to shut down and restart Windows in case it is a temporary glitch.
    Second, you may want to try disabling hardware acceleration of graphics, in case a graphics card driver update has tripped an incompatibility in Firefox. You will need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    Third, the file that stores the size and position of Firefox windows might have become corrupted. You can delete or rename it to resolve that issue, but you will have to re-customize your toolbars. Here's how:
    Open your current Firefox settings folder (AKA Firefox profile folder) using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Switch back to Firefox and Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something like localstore.old
    Restart Firefox.
    Any luck?

  • How can you get your music synced from iTunes to your iPod when a window pop ups on the screen saying"The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019))?

    I had 429 songs already on my iPod Touch. When I was in the process of syncing a song from my iTunes Library on to my iPod, a window popped up on the screen saying, ""The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019)). I click "Device" on my iTunes Library to make sure the song was in my iPod. It showed the song that was recently synced now listed under "Device", but when I physically looked for the song on my iPod Touch, it does not appear on there at all. It all started when I decided to put a Playlist I created in the iTunes Library and transferred it on to my iPod. Do you know why it may affected my syncing process and is there any way where I could get the syncing function back to normal so that I can continue adding songs on my iPod? Thank you for listening.    P.S. My iPod iOS version is 4.3.5.

  • Whenever i start my macbook pro the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it for hours.

    When i turn on my macbook a box appears telling me i need to restart my computer (in different languages) and in order to do so i have to press on the off button for a lil while. Even after doing this the same box appears and it never restarts correctly. This box appears every single time. I rarely turn my computer off. I just place it on sleep mode and restarts it only when i get prompted to. I brought it to genius and they couldnt figure out what the problem is so i was told it needed to be shipped to get fixed. I didnt have anything backed up. All i want saved are the pictures because i went to 2 events where i was the assigned photographer and i didnt get to save it to an external memory. Genius said that when shipped i cant give instructions like make sure to save the pictures and if they are unable to, call me if they should go on with the process. I was wishful thinking that to fix the problem they might not even have to touch the pictures memory part. I brought my MBP back home hoping it will miraculously starts and id be able to back it up but now all it does when i turn it on is the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it on for hours. Please help me fix this!!! cant i really specify to the technicians at apple  to please make sure not to erase the pictures? Is there no other way to turn on my mac? I only need it to work ones.
