/* Q: Stop the auto hide of the menu bar and scroll bars */
The following lines were added (+) and removed (-):
===Q: Stop the auto hide of the menu bar and scroll bars===This applies to El Capitan 10.11 or newerConsider there are three elements that will be discussed.#Tool Bar#Menu Bar#Scroll BarFrom System Preferences: To control the feature "Automatically hide and show the menu bar" and "Show scroll bars goto the following:* System Preferences from the Apple menu -> “General” preference panel” -> look for the checkbox regarding the menu bar and the radio buttons regarding :Show scroll bars"-or-From the Command Line Interface:  The command string "defaults write NSGlobalDomain _HIHideMenuBar -bool" is a Boolean followed by either "true" or "false" - set to false defaults write NSGlobalDomain _HIHideMenuBar -bool false'''You cannot force the menu bar to remain visible in Safari''' - In Safari the menu bar and tool bar are two separate elements with the menu bar above having (File Edit View...) and the tool bar below having the field for the web address.  Safari IGNORES the interface directive from System Preferences and continues to hide the menu bar when in full screen mode.  Under the Safari menu bar option "View" you can set Safari to "Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen" however this stubborn browser still hides the menu bar unless you mouse to the top.''Tip: In the absence of the scrollbar you can scroll up or down the page using the spacebar or the combination of shift + spacebar.''
