I must be dense. The keyboard shortcuts list is very useful, but the behavior I see is still a mystery.
For one, I am using chrome, not firefox. If I press F11, I get a full screen lacking any icons of use--no hamburger. If I click on the traditional little box (between the - and the X) to choose full screen, the menu bar remains. If I drag the window to the top of the screen I get full screen with the menu bar still present, so I can exit full screen using the little box. How I got to the situation which prompted this entire exchange is a mystery--I cannot imagine that I inadvertently hit F11. After I send this email I will try to duplicate the mystery situation--maybe it only happens when only one tab is present. BTW, dragging the menu bar to the top of the screen to produce full screen is a feature of the system, not just the browser. It happens with all windows I have tried. -Denis On Wed, Jun 15, 2016 at 10:27 PM, King Beowulf <[email protected]> wrote: > On 06/15/2016 04:34 PM, Denis Heidtmann wrote: > > Thanks. That does it.
