"Automatically hide and show the menu bar" setting stuck at "In Full Screen only" I'm running Ventura on a MacBook, and the menu bar started auto-hiding only in full screen. If I change the according system setting to any other state, nothing changes. When I reopen System Settings, it returns to "In Full Screen only." Restarting does not help.

Hold down the power switch until it shuts down.
