Photoshop can't go in Mac OS Full Screen Mode (with green button)

Hello. 

 

I have just reinstalled my mac yesterday (I have a mac pro turning with Big Sur). I resintalled photoshop and lightroom yesterday. My photoshop version is 22.4.0 20210512.r.195 5b318a5 x64

And i cant go in Full Screen Mode. Not the Full screen mode you get by typing F but the mac os full screen mode, The one you get with green button. 

If I press the green button, photoshop open in almost full screen but stops at the dock. Lightroom is working properly. Is there  preference in photoshop ? A bug ? Something else ? 

 

Can you help me please ?

Photoshop doesn't support the macOS full screen mode.

Photoshop > Settings > Workspace Enable Native Full Screen > Restart Photoshop

 

I have wanted this for too long! I believe it was released January 2024.

Correct, but Native Full Screen mode was not available four years ago with 22.4.

 

Adobe listened to their users who asked for this feature.
