Just had a weird problem with the firefox title bar that wasn’t appearing in Ubuntu 8.10. A quick search on google revealed that a “F11″ to enable full screen and a “F11″ again to disable full screen was a workaround. But I don’t want to do 2 x F11 every time I start firefox. So I kept trying. For some weird reason the following combination worked:
- 2 x F11 to show the title bar again
- Resize the browser just a bit smaller than your window
- Click on maximize
Problem fixed.
Hi Duncan,
Do you use Compiz ?
For me the workaround was to uncheck the box “unredirect fullscreen windows” in the compiz setting manager
F11 is the default fullscreen hotkey for MS IE also.
How weird is that… Probably has something to do with Ubuntu remembering your window positions/sizes?
Thanks anyway – solved my problem.
Excellent! I knew that F11 would fix it, but I’ve been having to do that for a few days now. This completely fixed my problem.
Thank you!
Vexing problem now fixed. Thank you very much.
Exactly where could it be, i would like you just read more about this article, thank you.
Your tip re.2xF11 is very useful when the titlebar is AWOL.How do I resize the window to ensure that by default the title bar appears and repeated 2xF11 is not needed?
