Mini ToolBar does not show in Seamless Mode

Post by TVG »

Hi everyone,

In seamless mode, I'd like to show Mini ToolBar at top of screen. Here is my user interface settings:

If the VM window is in Full-screen Mode, the Mini ToolBar appears correctly:

However, if the VM window is in Seamless Mode, the Mini ToolBar does not show:

Is that a bug? Is there a way to fix it?

Many thanks for your help!

I suspect it's because the host's top bar is in the way. When the mouse goes to the top, it rolls up on the host bar and can't get to the VM's top.

Just a guess, though...

Can you put the host's top bar elsewhere, as a quick test?

That's what I thought first too. However, I've tried on my "Host Screen 2" which has no host's top bar and no Mini ToolBar shows up when the mouse goes to the top...

I've also tried to uncheck "Show at Top of Screen", but there is no Mini ToolBar that shows up at the bottom of the screen in seamless mode, while it does appear in full-screen mode. It seems there is a bug and that the Mini ToolBar never shows in seamless mode.
