Windows 8 Title Bar does not reappear

After the title bar auto disappears, it does not come back when I move my mouse to the top. Also, my mouse pointer does not change to a hand so I can grab and close the app. I have to always hit Alt + Space to get
the title bar back. 

After the title bar auto disappears, it does not come back when I move my mouse to the top. 
Sounds like you need to calibrate your pointer device.  FWIW I don't see one for my mouse.  But it does have a diagnostic called mousinfo.exe which could show if I needed something like that.  That is a tool that MS provide in both their IntelliPoint
and Mouse&Keyboard software.  For example, relevant to your example, when the pointer is hovering at the top Y Position: -1 is shown.  I suspect that that would be the only value which you could use to start from for the function that you want
to use.  Heh.  In fact, using Mousekeys while monitoring with mousinfo.exe I found I was able to raise the Title bar at as low as 3.  YMMV.  If you have a real numeric keypad (or a hardware equivalent) you could try using Mousekeys instead
of whatever mouse you are using too.
As for the other point about the pointer icon changing to a hand, I think that is old functionality.  Just drag down as soon as the title bar appears.  E.g. consider the title bar as providing the same usability signal that the appearance of the
hand had.

  • Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL..

    Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL. However, if I right click on a link and select "Open Link In New Tab", the Tab shows URL in address bar. So it's working when it's a New Tab but not a New Window.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Fire fox shows a window which indicates that the yahoo tool bar does not have a security cert. Then runs using 99% processor

    a window pops up when i open Firefox which indicates that the Yahoo tool bar does not have a security cert. Seems to lock up when going to Comcast.net. Uses 99% processor and won't close.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://comcast.net

    Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
    Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
    Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

  • I have Windows 8. The address bar does not show on firefox. How do I fix this?

    The address bar does not show. How do I get it to appear?

    * If the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down, that should make the Menu bar appear. Make sure that you have the Navigation Toolbar and other toolbars visible: View > Toolbars .
    * If items are missing then see if you can find them in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.
    * If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to the Navigation toolbar.
    * If you do not see that item then click the Restore Default Set button in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.

  • Option to collapse windows by double-click to title bar only, NOT minimize into dock?

    A double-click to a window's title bar did, in former incanations of the Mac system, result in a collapse of the window to title bar only. Currently, it seems that this option is gone? All I find results in "minimize to the dock".
    Is there a hidden option?
    Or is there third-party software that adds back this feature?

    I was a bit "perplex" about the sensitivity that the term "iOSification" has caused, so I needed a little time to think about that.
    From my point of view, the removal of the "collapse a window to the title bar only" function is a feature that fits very well to the wide screen format that we have today. It IS something that was and is (would be) useful on a 27'' screen, and I think it is reasonable to blame the "iOSification" (that is, the attempt to unify the user interface on very small and "real" screens) for the removal of this feature.
    I am using Macs since the IIfx (with System 6). It might be that the term "iOSification" fits better to other "back the the Mac" changes to MacOS, but it describes a general attitude that I do start hating.

  • Scroll bar does not appear in some PDF files. How can I enable it?

    Scroll bar does not appear in some PDF files. How can I enable it?

    Scroll bars are supposed to appear when needed.
    For example, scroll bars will appear when you zoom in on a page.
    FAQ: How to zoom in/out on a page
    Windows 8 automatically hides scroll bars after a few seconds of inactivity.  Scroll bars will reappear when you touch the screen and move your finger (on a Touch-enabled device) or move your mouse.
    Additionally, page navigation depends on the view mode (Single Page vs. Continuous Page).
    In the Single Page mode, you can swipe left/right (horizontally) or click the left/right arrow button with your mouse to go to the previous/next page.
    In the Continuous Page mode, you can swipe or scroll up/down (vertically) to go to the previous/next page.

    itunes 11.1.3.8 shows a speaker icon in front of the seclection but it is not playing. the progress bar does not move. there are speakers attached to the system and all other programs do profuce an audio output.

    Go to the Edit -> Preferences-> Playback
    In The bottom section of the page click the drop down menu by Play Audio Using and select Windows Audio Session or something other than "Direct sound" or whatever it displays. Click Okay. This worked for me! I hope it works for you too!

  • Bookmark bar does not work on one of my computers - w XP

    Firefox 4.0 - the bookmark bar does not work. It appears but will not accept drags.
    PC w Windows XP - 3.
    Another thing too - The open new tab does not show up at all, in order to open a new tab I had to put the "open new tab" tab into the navigation toolbar.
    (Works fine on my other computer, & it drives me nuts to have to use Firefox w 2 different setups...)

  • In Photoshop Element 9, when opening the Organise section, the top bar does not show File, etc.?

    Just reinstalled Photoshop Ele,ents 9 onto Windows 7.
    In the Editt part,on opening, all is well.  This clearly show the top bar where youcan call and enter from the file to work with items on your computer.
    However, on the Organise section, this to bar does not show at all, therefoere you are unable to do any work as you cannot import items from anywhere.
    How do I get this to work now.

    You should ensure your font/text size is 100% or 96 dpi in the Windows control panel or you may need to adjust the native screen resolution of your monitor. Alternatively try keyboard shortcuts to access the menus.
    File – Alt+f
    Edit – Alt+e
    Find - Alt+i
    View – Alt+v
    Window – Alt+w
    Help – Alt+h

  • PSE 6: Task bar does not pop up in Editor

    When I move the cursor to the bottom of the screen in the PSE 6 Editor, the task bar does not open. I have to hit the Windows key to do it.
    Work o.k. in the Organizer.
    Windows Vista.
    Any ideas? - Thanks!
    Alexander

    Thats a bug that seems to be fixed in PSE 7. But theres a workaround instead of maximizing the Editor, manually resize it to fill the screen except for a strip of a couple of pixels along the bottom. The Editor will remember its last position when you next open it.

  • HT4061 iphone 3GS screen locked, slide bar does not work

    Iphone 3GS. The slide bar does not work, ie the screen lock does not unlock. I have tried to reset (power and home buttons) and also to restore my iphone several times using iTunes without any success. Any suggestions? My son uses the phone now for games, so it has no carrier.

    A reset can be done by tapping and holding the Home button and the Sleep/On/Off buttons at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears.

  • When Firefox is open the zoom function (option/command/space bar) does not work in Adobe programs (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator)

    Mac OS X 10.6.7
    CS 5.5
    When Firefox is open the zoom function (option/command/space bar) does not work in Adobe programs (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator). This happens only when Firefox is open and when I close it the zoom functions work fine again without having to restart the applications.
    This is intermittent but happens quite frequently each day if Firefox is active.

    MDN doesn't mention -chrome being used for ordinary web pages: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options#Chrome
    When I use
    firefox.exe -chrome about:permissions
    I get a usable window, but zoom doesn't work as you noted.
    How about using an intermediate page and window.open() for the target page? You can (mostly) restrict the chrome of windows opened that way, but it will leave behind the intermediate window...

  • Navigation bar does not appear on published page, Replaced by a "bullet"

    Navigation bar does not appear on the published page, but is replaced by a "bullet".
    "Include page in Navigation menu" is checked on every page.
    Therefore unable to navigate to other pages.
    If other pages are moved to the first position, the same thing occurs - ie  unable to navigate to any other page.

    One frequent reason for that is the fact that not all the files in the Scripts folder for the site are getting uploaded.  While viewing the site bring up the Activity Window (Command+Option+A) and see if any of the files are listed as missing. If there are you'll need to upload the Scripts folder to the server.
    If you're using iWeb the only option there is to try the File ➙ Publish Entire Site menu option. 
    Or, you can publish you site to a folder on your hard drive and use a 3rd party FTP client like  Cyberduck to upload just the Scripts folder to the server.
