Preliminary Checks

  • I have read and understood the important section above.
  • I have searched existing issues and avoided creating duplicates.
  • I am not filing an enhancement request.
  • I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.
  • I have checked that this issue can be reproduced once I removed all my Mods and Custom CSS.

What happened?

The top bar (that includes all extensions) is almost impossible and very frustrating to access when in compact mode in OSX.

This is the same as #1903 and #3058 (both closed without any response despite being a legitimate bug that is 1-zen only, 2-workflow breaking, 3-frustrating)

The behavior is perfect in Firefox while it is broken in zen. Here's a side by side video of zen and Firefox.

Expected behavior

I can access the top bar with all my pinned extensions without turning off fullscreen

Actual behavior

Almost impossible to access the top bar without turning off fullscreen

Steps to reproduce

  1. Use mac
  2. enable compact mode ("hide both" option)
  3. try to hover your mouse over any extension

Screenshots and videos

This first video shows me using Zen in compact mode and how the top bar can't be accessed despite hovering over it

This second video shows me using Firefox in full screen and being able to access the top bar when hovering over it
