Unable to access HeaderBar in fullscreen [$15]

[Danielle Foré]

The Fullscreen button hides the HeaderBar for some reason.

[Cameron Norman (cameronnemo)]

I think this is a problem at the window manager level, because when I use the fullscreen window shortcut (I have it configured to alt + f, do not know the default), it dissappears in Maya and Noise.

[Cameron Norman (cameronnemo)]

Also, since you can fullscreen a window with a WM shortcut, removing the in app keyboard shortcut and menu option (like with Noise) is not that great a solution.

[Danielle Foré (danrabbit)]

Shortcuts aren't really an issue since we can assume of someone knows the shortcut they'll be able to get out of fullscreen. The concern is more for people that don't know about the keyboard shortcuts.

The Maya I see here doesn't have fullscreen in the menu so marking as fixed for Maya

Bumping priority to High because this bug can completely lock the system for anyone who doesn't remember the keyboard shortcuts.

Would it make sense to remove this fullscreen feature entirely? With the headerbar, the space is saved anyway, and having it only adds clutter to the gear menu.

[Jacob Parker (jacobparker1992)]

I'll also add, if somebody accidentally clicks it, they'll have no idea how to recover. It just seems like a hindrance over anything.

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

There's no Fullscreen button in the current Isis version of Noise and F11 does nothing. Marking incomplete for Noise.

[Jacob Parker (jacobparker1992)]

Sorry, that's my bad. I remembered it was like that a few weeks ago. I'll add, Scratch will then be the only elementary application to have this feature.

gEdit solves this by replicating the toolbar in a revealer, and in case of moving the mouse to the top of the screen, showing the revealer contents. This is a bit of code duplication, it might be worth having something like this in Gtk+ for fullscreen windows, but until we will have it, we could do the same as gedit. Any objections?

[Danielle Foré (danrabbit)]

Yeah that's probably a good compromise
