Q: Disappearing Finder menus and sliding app transitions

Listing questions in one sentence paragraphs to reduce temptations for others to read between the lines.

 

I am using 10.10.5.

 

There is a "feature" that hides the menus in Finder and apps showing a little bit more screen.

 

There is another "feature" that causes a "barn door" transition when switching between apps, using the Dock.

 

There is also, I suspect, related behavior that that causes a total inability to selected the Dock in some apps in order to Switch/Start another app.

 

Referring the the immediately previous statement, CMD-Tab works as expected, though I suppose it is possible that these are not related.

 

Here's the deal: I don't want these features at all.

 

Can they be turned off?

 

N.B.: El Capitan does the same thing

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

    How about full screen mode? The View menu is the key. If it's On, click Exit, if you want it On, click Enter.

    That is because your Mac is switching between Spaces (which are virtual screens). Use Mission Control on your Mac - Apple Support
