HOPING FOR A SAFARI-GOOGLE DOCS FIX.

Recently, I'm unable to easily use Safari and Google Docs together after doing so easily for a long time. While in Safari, I open Google Mail. In G-Mail, there's a link to Docs. The link WILL NOT RESPOND unless I toggle to full screen, often very inconvenient. Can anyone suggest a fix, that will make using full-screen unnecessary? I am using Safari v 7.0.1 on a MacPro laptop.
