Question

Problem at photoshop on full screen with menu bars on windows 10

I think one of the last versions of photoshop CC have a bug, my problem is when I select "full screen with menu bars". Each time that I have a click with a tool like the vector pen, or the aerograph, photoshop hide and show all the menu bars. That is very annoying because I can't work on this mode, because photoshop do this each click! I'm using  Windows 10, and my version of photoshop is  20.0.1. I don't know if the problem can be because I work with multiple monitors on diferent situations. sometimes I connect a cintiq and other I work with a big monitor. And work without full screen on cintiq it's annoying.

I don't use the tab mode, because I need to use multiple files to search elements and it isn't confortable.

I probed some solutions for another similar bug on mac users "Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop" but it didn't work.

Please, if you can give me a solution for that or fix that bug, I would be very grateful.

Could you please share an exact description of the problem along with your system information from Help > System info > Copy (you can paste it into text document and attach it with your response)?

I am experiencing the same problem in 20.0.2. But I may have found a workaround.

At the top right corner there are the minimize, maximize and close buttons, click on the middle one and it will make Photoshop a smaller window. Now try entering fullscreen with menubars mode, I think it should work properly now. You can drag the window edge to fit your screen so that it looks "maximized" still. Hope this helps!
