LibreOffice in fullscreen mode

In Mac OS fullscreen mode (Mac OS X > 10.7), menubar will disappear (correctly) but screen will not be resized to hide the withe ribbon. Look at Safari, Mail or some other Apple application for the correct behavior.
Comment 1 retired 2014-05-10 15:13:54 UTC
Confirmed:4.2.4.2:OSX

Switch to e.g. https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/libreoffice-40-osx/ under LO > Preferences > Personalization to better view the top white bar which should not be there.

I think we should just remove the current hack to "support" full-screen mode from the code. As I tried to say many times in that other bug report about it, it is a somewhat barebones hack and not at all well thought out and/or tested, and the interaction with LO's own full-screen concept is unclear. Anyway, if it doesn't work, don't try to use it.

@Foss: What does Firefox have to do with this? I don't use Firefox on OS X.

Hi guys!

This bug still exists in LO in further releases. Even in 4.4.6.3

It is strongly necessary to kill or something like that.

Comment 7 Bookman900 2015-11-13 11:20:19 UTC
The problem seems to be specific for users under 10.10

10.8.5 reproduces this bug everywhere, even today's latest dev-version.

Tested with: Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 (15E2066) with LibreOffice Version: 5.1.2.2
Build ID: d3bf12ecb743fc0d20e0be0c58ca359301eb705f
CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Mac OS X 10.11.4; UI Render: default.

It seems using the native OSX full-screen behaviour (which now puts the zoomed in window in it's own space), is broken. The central issue is how LO handles Spaces on OSX.

Workaround: Double click on the window's title bar to maximise the window (like 'full screen' in earlier OSX versions).

This bug still exists in LO 5.4.3002 on macOS 10.11.6, even it's behavior is a little changed. The menubar now appears replaced from a black bar instead from a withe bar, but document didn't use entry screen like before. The correct behavior for OS X (now macOS) fullscreen mode, is that the content of document windows covers entry screen, even the menubar. There will be 20-30 pixel more space in height, nothing really indispensable... but the bug is still there.
And I noticed another strange behavior related to macOS fullscreen mode (don't know if it need to open another bug report): in fullscreen mode, if I close the opened document, LibreOffice hold in fullscreen mode with a blackscreen, and the only thing I can do, is to open a new document to exit fullscreen mode, or quit LibreOffice. The correct behavior is that LibreOffice exits from fullscreen mode if the fullscreen document will be closed.

Please note that there are two different "full-screen" modes: The traditional cross-platform LibreOffice one (View > Full Screen), and the system one (the green roundel in the left end of the title bar of a window. See comment #2. I have no reason to change my opinion.

When commenting here, please make sure which full-screen mode you are talking about.

If I simply remove the broken "support" for system full-screen mode, will people scream?

In the latest versions of LibreOffice, it was replaced from system one. LibreOffice "full-screen" mode is still available by doble clicking on the document title bar or option-clicking "the green roundel in the left...". So, as you can see, I'm aware form what I'm talking. But this is not the point.
I'm aware that's not a stopping issue too, but behavior is still there and not OS coherent.
And one more thing: I think that the lake of full-screen exit (systems one) after document closure, is a noisier bug than the wrong document resizing.

I think none will scream, but it's not a serious way to respond to people that spend their time to give a contribution to make LO better (in this case only for OS coherence). Independently how little the contribution are.
Comment 20 How can I remove my account? 2017-11-16 13:40:18 UTC
Congratulations, you have managed to confuse the issue with a third kind of "full-screen mode".

The two modes I was talking about was LO's own one, View > Enter Full Screen, and the system one (click on the green roundel without Option).

Double-clicking the title bar is a third thing... it would be called "Maximising", not "full-screen", I think. (And apparently Option-clicking the green roundel does the same as double-clicking.)
Comment 21 How can I remove my account? 2017-11-16 13:49:37 UTC
Er, just View > Full Screen, not "Enter Full Screen", sorry.

macOS split view with LibreOffice (left) and NeoOffice (right)

OK, you are true. Now the two things have different behavior... today morning I tried LO Full Screen and get OS fullscreen mode. Can't explain how it's possible, and can't repeat the behavior again... maybe I'm wrong, but I don't believe so.
In any case, the macOS fullscreen mode, enables another mode called split view, that works with LO (with the same little bug from holding an unused space in place from menubar), so it's not a useless duplicate from LO fullscreen.
I attach a side-by-side screenshot from a split view mode with LibreOffice on the left and NeoOffice on the right.

Nope, just doing some QA work on mac bugs trying to clean up the bug tracker of duplicates, so thought I'd just update the status on this so other's don't need to test

Comment 31 How can I remove my account? 2018-05-24 11:42:30 UTC
Suggested fix in https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/54760/ . 

The fix still leaves some minor ugliness in the full-screen support. But the resources (time) available to work on this crack are limited. The alternative would be to simply not participate in the system full-screen mode at all, https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/48796/ . So don't tempt me.
Comment 32 How can I remove my account? 2018-06-01 11:56:34 UTC
Should be fixed now when LibreOffice doesn't participate in the system full-screen mode any longer.

Tor, your efforts on this project are appreciated by millions worldwide so please don't take this as a complaint as much as it is a suggestion.

I use LO on macOS exclusively for all word processing and spreadsheets. The irritation of having a black screen when closing a document that was in system full screen mode was far less than the irritation that I experience not being able to take my documents into system full screen mode. System FS allows you to swipe through multiple docs with gestures which is so much more time saving than having to go down to the task bar and change between docs or swipe up and then select the right one. I would gladly accept the black screen issue over not having the functionality at all. Please, please, please bring it back, broken or not.

Comment 35 Claude 2019-02-08 18:25:17 UTC
For me, it is fixed in version 6.1.5

In the View menu, I select Full Screen. 

But it does not always behave the same, for reasons unknown. Sometimes, a floating Full Screen box appears. Sometime not. If it does, you can drag it over the regular menu bar if you want that hidden. But then, the menu bar becomes visible.

So, it's a bit of a hit and miss, but it works way better than before.
