Is there a way to reduce the sensitivity of the menu bar?
As I work, it constantly opens on accident b/c it is so sensitive. Quite annoying and no way to keep it in place when in full screen mode.

Thank you for your reply.
As I seldom work in full screen, guess I didn't fully realise what you meant. When I looked further into full-screen mode just now, I can see now how annoying the appearing, disappearing aspect of the menu bar would become, seems without control.
Would seem better if Apple had fullscreen windows open, and sit, flushly beneath the menu bar when hide & show is unticked. ?
After trialling the "hide and show" at first, and also finding it's unwanted appearance discomforting while working, I mostly position my non-full-screen windows underneath the menu bar, with the fixed menu bar remaining visible all the time. I can understand how that option would not suit your need for swiping, so hope other (engineering-type) help will be forthcoming!
All the best.

Hi muel87,
There are different settings you might want to try.
As I don't know which Computer, and Operating System you are using this may, or may not, suit / work:
Access System Preferences by clicking the apple icon at the far left of the menu bar.
Click on "dock and menu bar." (on mine it is in the top row of icons on the left.)
Untick "Automatically hide and show and the menu bar" at the bottom.
You might want to look and see if there is anything else you prefer to change.
Hope this helps you.
Cheers
Thanks so much. It's already unticked. I use the full screen mode though, b/c I need to swipe back and forth. Pretty sure it would have to be an engineered solution, nothing stock will achieve it. BTW I use the latest Big Sur...
Just thinking: if you want to see changes, Apple is open to feedback on its products, software etc.:
