423860 - Full screen mode doesn't cover taskbar in Windows

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Ankit Singla]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b4) Gecko/2008030714 Firefox/3.0b4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b4) Gecko/2008030714 Firefox/3.0b4

When I enter full-screen mode in Firefox (by pushing F11 for example), the Windows taskbar covers the bottom portion of the window. It would be nice if full-screen mode acted more like a PowerPoint presentation and didn't have the bottom part of the screen cut-off.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox
2. Have taskbar set to "Display on top of windows" and not set to "autohide"
3. Enter full-screen mode in Firefox
Actual Results:  
Taskbar covers bottom portion of full-screen'ed Firefox window

Expected Results:  
I would expect full-screen to cover the taskbar as PowerPoint and OpenOffice Impress presentations do.

Reporter, can you try to reproduce with a current nightly trunk? This works for me with:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008050806 Minefield/3.0pre

Thanks!

Turns out it wasn't Firefox's fault. It was my virtual desktop manager. Sorry about that!

Btw, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4650 provides similar tools for fullscreen like PowerPoint presentations.
