Hi, for some reason the taskbar and tabs keep disappearing. I can momentarily bring back the tabs but they go away again after a few seconds if I take the mouse away. The taskbar doesn't come back at all. I'm using windows 7.

It sounds like "full screen" -- the kind that you can use the F11 function key to switch on and off. Does that work for you?

Two other ways to exit full screen view: hover over the top of the toolbar area until the bars roll down, and then either

  • right-click a blank area of the tab bar > Exit Full Screen Mode
  • click the main menu button > click the icon at the right end of the "Zoom" row

Any improvement so far?
