A1 - ESC on keyboard


A2 - The buttons do disappear in Full Screen Mode and Re-Appear in Normal Mode

Full screen hides the buttons by definition! However, you just have to move the cursor to the of the screen AND KEEP IT THERE for about a second or so to make them reappear. Your video shows your cursor barely reaching the top and "running away from it", never staying long enough. So you probably just have "push against the top of the screen" just a tad longer.


(FWIW, you are losing big on usability, and possibly the health of your wrists, by your antipathy towards keyboard shortcuts... just sayin'). Escape is such a simple shortcut, anyway. (there is also command-control-F to enter/exit fullscreen, which you probably don't want to remember, but Escape... to escape is as simple as can be.

I use my MBP with a second monitor too, and I cannot reproduce this issue. I don't think that is the reason, but you can confirm if that is the case: temporarily disconnect the second monitor and see if the problem remains.


I noticed this blue octagon with a hand in your video. It is similar with the icon for privacy settings (but octogonal rather than circular). I suppose this is put there by some Safari extension that you installed. Could that be having an impact on the present issue? Which extension is it? Or is it something else?
