Menu bar appears in fullscreen mode

Hello,


Lately the menu bar is shown in front of the file or program in fullscreen mode. How can I put it the background without using automatically hide and show the menu bar feature?


Thanks

MacBook, macOS 10.15

If you need to focus on all applications without menu or doc interference, please follow the screen steps.


Use Mission control with your three-finger gestures.

Please go through it and I am sure your second screen will hide the top menu and bottom dock.



Now, when I swipe right to BBEdit, I will not see the top menu or dock.



I hope this will solve your problem.

Say what... posting a screen shot may help exemplify if you are having an issue or not, otherwise:


There is a difference between Full screen and expand a window to take up the entire screen real estate (quite different.)


Hold the option key when clicking the green pill button... will zoom the window larger.




Your options— >System Preferences>Dock & Menu bar




Use Mission Control on your Mac - Apple Support


Use apps in full screen on Mac - Apple Support




Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/Anti-Virus/VPN
