MacBook Air accessibility Keyboard; minimizing the keyboard takes up the entire screen

The minimized keyboard is gigantic. See video for issue.


I have reset, turned on an off the accessibility, it seems to be stuck.

Seems you can easily "Resize" the Accessibility Keyboard:


While you’re using the Accessibility Keyboard on your Mac, do any of the following:

  • Make the keyboard bigger or smaller: Drag a corner of the keyboard.
  • To resize it without keeping the proportions, click the Panel Options button in the top-right corner of the keyboard, then choose Resize Proportionally (to remove the tick).
  • Reset the keyboard to the default size: Click the Panel Options button in the top-right corner of the keyboard, choose Zoom, then choose 100%.
