Apple + H won't hide Safari

Same here. In addition, when I switch to Safari, it comes to the front and is active, but the menu bar still shows the menu from whatever was the previous frontmost app. Lastly, if I deliberately bring several different app windows onto the screen, choose one of the non-Safari ones, and hit Command-Option-H, all of the other apps EXCEPT Safari hide themselves, but Safari won't hide.

This seems to be new with 10.5.3, but I'm not positive.

This happens intermittently for me in various applications.

Next time it happens, check the Safari (or application your in) menu and see if the Hide option is dimmed. It is for me.

Sadly I have no solution.

Thanks ... Ken

I get the same problem, it happens with both Safari and Mail. The only way to get the hide function to work again is to quit and re-open the app (thankfully Apple included the 'Reopen all windows from last session' option in Safari now).

@sgginc the option will be dimmed if all other apps are hidden (ie Safari is the only one not hidden).

Fairly annoying and yet another problem plaguing my previously (< 10.5) super stable Mac! Leopard is without a doubt the buggiest/worst Apple OS I have ever used! Very sad...

I had the same problem... all "Hide" options become dimmed for some reason..

Then I opened up iTunes, pressed command optionh..and Safari hid! ... But once I closed iTunes, Safari wouldn't hide anymore.. and then out of nowhere "Hide" became available again...

You may have tabs disabled, look in the preferences, as why it wont hide, maybe all other applications are hidden.

Hey, Command-H does not work for me either. I cannot hide Safari on my MacPro. Were you able to resolve issue? Thanks. KT

Thanks ... I didn't know that.

Seems like my ⌘H is working ok ... I will pay closer attention now and see.

Thanks again ... Ken

This has been a plague for ever... Therefore, I usually don't use the "Hide" feature. now I'm stuck again with a Safari that doesn't show its menu bar.
