[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: Usability regression on macOS This regression was caused by bug 1921819, which effectively re-introduced bug 738335. Steps to reproduce: 1. Have a few tabs open, with horizontal tabs (default). 2. Press the green window button to make the window fullscreen. 3. Using the mouse, try to switch to a different tab. But on the way to the tab, your mouse accidentally overshoots and hits the top edge of the screen. Expected results: You should be able to click the tab. Actual results: When the mouse hits the top edge of the screen, a gray bar appears which now covers the tabs. The tabs can no longer be clicked. You have to move your mouse down, wait, and move it carefully back up. --- I didn't fully follow the conversation that came to this conclusion - the Slack link in bug 1921819 comment 33 doesn't work for me. However, I think the goal was to avoid visual imperfections. I believe the visual imperfections are not as serious as the usability impact from not being able to click tabs / buttons at the top of the window unless you move the mouse very carefully.

I'm seeing this on macOS 15.0.1, on the internal screen of a Macbook Pro with a notch. --- I didn't fully follow the conversation that came to this conclusion - the Slack link in bug 1921819 comment 33 doesn't work for me.
