Apple Vision Pro is now available in the U.S.

Application not maximising menu bar space. (Macbook pro M2 2023) - Sonoma-14.0

So I've got the update to Sonoma. My primary work revolves around code editors and browsers and cloud interfaces. Prior to update my applications and windows would maximise the space of menu bar but now they don't.


Checkout the screenshot below , notice menu bar is hidden yet VS code won't use menu bar space at top. Previously they used to.


I'm not sure if this is a new feature or just a bug.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.5

What app is that ?


Did you make changes to menubar settings...


not all third party apps are going to place nice with menubar(?)— did you check for a software update for your third party app...




See open windows and spaces in Mission Control on Mac

Prior to sonoma update , VS Code , edge and almost every other APP maximised and used the menu bar space. I can't go back in time and take a screenshot.

My settings are same as above.

that screen estate seems like a waste for menu bar.


See if this is it—


if you highlight the /Application use Command i for the Information pane:
