Steps to reproduce:

  1. Turn off "Automatically hide and show menu bar in full screen" in System Preferences>Dock & Menu Bar
  2. Turn on always show toolbar in fullscreen in Orion Preferences
  3. Go fullscreen
    Now macOS Menu Bar will only show up when mouse pointer is near it, while still leaving an empty black bar in top part of the screen.

Expected behavior:
For macOS Menu Bar to always stay visible.

Orion, OS version; hardware type:
Orion Version 0.99.113.2-beta (WebKit 613.1.12).
macOS Monterey 12.3
Macbook Air M1 2020

Image/Video:
First image: mouse pointer is away from the screen's upper border, Menu Bar is hidden, black bar still remains

Second image: mouse pointer is on top of the Menu Bar, it's totally visible like in all other apps.

    Funnily enough, when you switch a video to fullscreen (e.g. on YouTube) the menu bar suddenly doesn't hide anymore. I would like to extend this issue to „switch the menu bar behavior during browsing with the behavior in fullscreen video“.

    Maybe take a look at if this is a duplicate? It's literally the previous post.

      eirk Sorry! It didn't appear on my screen when I posted! I'll try & remove it 😅

            Steps to reproduce:

            1. Open Orion.
            2. Use the keyboard short cut to enter full-screen mode.

            Expected behavior:
            The window should go full screen without flashing the menu bar for a split second, just as happens correctly when you press the maximize button or select the item from the menu and click it. Instead, the menu bar flashes briefly. [note that I have a custom keyboard shortcut, but this applies the same when I remove the shortcut in System Preferences and use the standard shortcut.]

              Flagged as a dupe of a different post. It's probably related, and from the same root cause.

                  Any progress/eta on this issue? It is quite annoying that menu bar is visible in fullscreen mode in every app except Orion.

                    Vlad Of course, the behaviour is still the same as in the first post.

                    Safari without cursor over the menu bar:

                    Orion without cursor over the menu bar:

                    When cursor hovers over the menu bar, the Orion menu as well as menu bar icons on the right side become visible. However, expected behaviour is that the menu bar stays visible permanently, like in Safari and every other desktop app.

                        I see the same issue here, Kagi is "hiding" the menu bar (text is being removed but the black bar is staying) while all my other apps behave normally and show the menu bar correctly.
