Mini Toolbar always pops up

Post by gilesc »

I use tabbed browsing in Chrome on a Windows Guest.

At 1280x1024 it is near impossible to switch to the third tab in Google chrome because the mini-toolbar decides to pop up.

I know there is a setting to have the mini-toolbar at the bottom of the screen, but then it causes problems when trying to switch applications on the WIndows start bar.

is there a way to change the mini-toolbar for there to be a delay or make it less sensitive to popping out?

I have the same problem. Since installing the last release, the mini-toolbar seems much more "aggressive". I use it on auto-hide, at the top of the screen, and previously there used to be a reasonable delay before it dropped down. This gave me the time to click on a tab in Chrome, before it appeared. Now it appears immediately and I cant get to the tab. I've moved it to the bottom, but now have the same problem with the windows taskbar. My workaround is to always use ALT+TAB to switch tasks, but its a bit "cludgy". Can we get the delay put back in? Or alternatively allow it to be positioned at the left/right sides?

Thanks

Hi all,

I want to second this. The mini toolbar is much to aggresive in my oppinion now. It would be realy nice to have a third mode available, where only a key shortcut will show the toolbar.

Best

Turn the mini toolbar off and just use the (host+home) toggle to bring up a menu.

Hi:

I think mini toolbat pop up time must be configurable. I cant navigate with chome any more. I use Ctrl + Home to pop up optinos, but previus mini toolbar was better.
