Xcode 4.5 hides the tab bar in full screen mode! Can this be fixed? - tabbar

I just installed Xcode 4.5 and notice that when I'm in full screen mode, the Xcode tab bar disappears along with the menu bar. It used to remain visible even when the menu bar went away. Does anyone else experience this? Has anyone found a preference to keep the tab bar visible?

Well, it turns out that if you turn off full screen and turn it back on, things return to normal. This seems to be a post-upgrade glitch that seems to fix itself.

How do I hide the title bar in full-screen mode in IntelliJ IDEA 2019.2?

This only happened after updating to IntelliJ IDEA 2019.2 CE. The title bar (which, in non-fullscreen mode, contains the project name and the root project directory) is still visible in fullscreen. Is there a way to hide it? This screenshot was taken in fullscreen mode, and that big empty bar at the top is driving me crazy.
Just disable this option, restart and the title bar is gone.
Apparently, this is caused by the Material UI theme. Disabling that plugin fixed it. Boo.

Detach XCode's Navigator into its own window?

Right now, my average xcode window is just an editor window with the navigator on the left.
Is there any way I can detach the navigator into a separate window?
I've tried:
Making a new complete window, and hiding the editor. This doesn't work, when I try to drag the navigator to cover the entire window, it won't go all the way. It's strange that this works to create a debugger-only window, and not a navigator-only window.
Making a behavior in the preferences, to show the navigator and hide the editor. When I run this behavior, it shows the navigator and hides the editor, but puts the debugger in its place. When I add "hide the debugger" to the behavior, I get the same result: navigator plus debugger.
Eternal gratitude to whoever can end my suffering!
(xcode 4.6, mac 10.8)
No, there is no way to do this. The Xcode application's UI was not written to be able to do what you're asking for.

Black bar between navigation bar and tableview since migration

Firstly, I'm French so; sorry for the english mistakes, I hope you'll understand my problem. I've only been working on iOS apps 3 months, maybe I havn't got all iOS development concepts.
I have an app correctly running on device and simulator using iOS 5 but when I try it on a iOS6 device or simulator I have a weird situation. A black bar appears at the top of the screen between the navigation bar and my tableview.
I did some research, others have the same problem but, what solved their problem didn't work for me.
See: Black bar between navigation bar and table view appears on iOS 6
I'm facing this problem since I upgraded my xcode version to 4.5 and the iOS6 SDK. See the following screenshots of the simulator, firstly running iOS6 then iOS5. The weird thing is that the black bar is here just after the application is launched. If I changed tab (obviously viewcontrollers are switched) then the black bar is no longer present.
I try to change the first viewController by switching the element of my tabBar but the same situation appears even if I put the tab called "Tendances" in first. The black bar is on this view but not on the others.
I have made these screenshots on the iphone 3 simulator but using iphone4 or 5 simulator or a real device didn't resolve my issue.
Screenshot 1: I launch the application on a iOS6 simulator. You may see that the black bar is betwen the navigation bar and the tableView header.
Screenshot 2: I'm still running the same app on the same simulation (iOS6), I decided to switch tab, using the tabBarController. The black bar disappear.
Screenshot 3: I go back to the first tab then there is no black bar...
Screenshot 4: I closed the simulator running iOS6 for another running iOS5. I launched the app then as you may seen there is no black bar.
I had the exact same problem: when first launching the app / this tableviewcontroller (mine is a fetchedresultscontroller, just to be more clear), the navigation bar would shrink in height and a black bar would appear in between the navigation bar and the viewcontroller's items. If I switched to a different view controller (not a tableview one) and came back, the bar would be gone and the nav bar back to its normal size. I have spent my last 3 hours looking for answers and just trying everything out there but nothing worked for me.
What did work in my case is a pretty weird solution: making the navigation bar invisible and then visible once again. So it seems like this actually loads it twice, first time being with the black bar and the second one, back to normal.
In my viewDidLoad I have this now:
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO];
Try this solution: How to set the top position = 0 after setStatusBarHidden:Yes?
I had once had the same issue, struggled through a lot of SO pages but this was the ultimate solution.

Graphics error with NSStatusItem

My application uses NSStatusItem to be visible to the user.
So I set 'Application is agent (UIElement)' to YES, which basically hides the menu bar of the application, and hides the icon from the dock.
Now, I didn't delete the menu bar, so I can still react to shortcuts like cmd+W to close the preference window, or cmd+q to quit the application. The problem is, that anytime I use such a command, the menubar get's messed up.
I've noticed that other Apps which run in the background, like Growl 2, have the same issue.
I have no idea how to fix this.
Hopefully someone of you can help me
I'm running Mountain Lion.
thanks!

It probably has something to do with the 10.8 SKD. I have never noticed this issue before in any application.
How about move the whole Window menu to be Application menu submenu and then hide it?
You will still receive shortcuts and the highlited menu will be the application menu that is by anyway there (i suppose so, how else you will open preferences window? also shortcut?).

Item below charms bar gets invoked when search is clicked

I have created a page with horizontal layout listview with enough items added to it have a horizontal scrollbar. When you click an item in de listview it navigates to a different page with some details about the clicked item.
Now I have added search functionality to my app by use of the search contract. That's where the problem arises. When you open the charms bar, it overlays over the listview which is good. But when I click the search icon in the charms bar search is opened, but also the listitem's (which is below the charms bar ) click event is getting invoked.
Anyone else who has seen this behaviour? It feels like a bug to me in the charms bar? Hopefully someone has seen this too and has a solution to prevent this behaviour?
Nice try, but whatever you do (Dispatching, Timer...), the click event is raised prior the OnSearchActivated.
Btw, we've "fixed" this problem by providing the view margin of 86 pixels on the right (I measured the Charm bar, and no matter what resolution, it's 86 pixels).
To keep the view symmetric, we also provided 86 pixels on the left.
Tested it yesterday on the RTM version and it seems that this issue is fixed in the RTM version.
Thanks everyone for your input.
One quick thought is that your app is activated from the OnSearchActivated method when the user invokes a search; you could possibly add/remove event handlers in there.
