... and you have to click the green button to bring the bottom bar into view every.single.time.

It's just a nuisance, anyway to remedy it?

Thanks

Just the Application Bar.

Turn on the Application frame

The document window size can be scripted. This sets the active window to 75% of the available screen width and 90% of the available screen height.

//the percentage of the horizontal and vertical screen space the document window occupies.
//set as needed
var hScale = .75
var vScale = .9

var x = 50;
var y = 0;
var sw = $.screens[0].right;
var sh = $.screens[0].bottom;
var w = Math.round ((sw*hScale)-x);
var h = Math.round ((sh*vScale)-y);
//bounds [bottom, left, top, right]
app.activeWindow.bounds = [sh-(y+h), x, sh-y, x+w]

It's on iMac, not a laptop. Thanks for any help.

Do you have both the application frame and application bar enabled?

Under your interface preferences, what are the choices in the Panels area?

Are you working on a laptop with an external monitor? Are you using multiple monitors? If working on a laptop, try disconnecting the external monitor and try it that way to see if the problem still occurs.
