Problem: Lightroom 'Close' and 'Restore' buttons vanish in full screen mode in macOS Mojave
When Lightroom Classic is placed into full screen mode in macOS Mojave, the bar that houses the 'close' and 'restore' buttons, bugs out and gets stuck behind the apple menu bar. Pressing Shift+F or changing options from the menu does not work, as is suggested in many forums. Only thing that can be done is to quit the app and re-launch.
This issue is triggered either by clicking on a different module within Lightroom or, waiting around 5 minutes. No other applications are affected. I have also re-installed to macOS High Sierra and tested for several days, the issue is not present there.
I have posted a video showing the problem.

Especially with intermittent bugs or bugs that only strike some configurations, it's important that everyone post here and click Me Too in the upper-right corner. Adobe uses the number of Me Toos as one factor in prioritizing bugs. (Julian and Wayne, but sure to click Me Too.)

I have an issue with my MacBook Pro. When I first start Lightroon Classic 8.2.1 with Mojave 10.14.44, all is well and the minimise bar works correctly and, hovering the curser at the page top, brings down the menu with the minimise/maximise bar below.
After some editing, especially if I use menu functions such as undo, the menu drops down but the minimise bar then ceases to appear. The menu bar drops down and I can just make out the minimise bar brifely flashing - but it doesn stick around to be clicked on.
I can minimise the screen by selection of 'Window' and 'Exit full screen'. All works then works well for a while until the minimise drop down just ceases to work again - apparently spontaneously.
Also, I have noticed that if you try to import to the Library when the drop down isnt working, it is impossible to cancel the selection as tne canceland Import buttons on the lower right are not visible
Close full screen is a temporary solution but shouldnt be necessary

However, since I've upgraded to Mojave (10.14.5) and the latest version of LR recently (8.3.1) a few days ago I've noticed that when I maximise the LR window via the green button, Control-Cmd-F stops working and the title bar doesn't appear when I move the mouse to the top (Mojave's taskbar/menubar appears, but the window's title bar doesn't appear below it as it should). This only happens with LR, so I think it's a bug for Adobe to fix.
At the moment, my workaround is to quit LR and restart it. Then, instead of clicking on the green button to maximise the window by entering full screen, I just double-click on LR window's grey title bar: this causes the window to expand to cover your entire desktop (in the current space, so it covers any other open windows displayed on screen) but the title bar remains visible (so it's like full screen but with the Mac taskbar and window title bar still visible). I use Cmd-Tab to cycle through my open apps to display any hidden windows when needed.
I'm not seeing this bug in the current list of known issues for Lightroom Classic, though, so hopefully someone at Adobe registers this. Are any other Mac users experiencing this? If yes, what version of MacOS are you running? I did an in-place upgrade to Mojave (not a clean install), if that's relevant: worth knowing if the bug is also present on clean install. Also, I don't have Lightroom CC installed on Mojave: if anyone does have both Classic and CC installed, perhaps check if this same bug appears in LR CC (and report it in that category if it does)...

If you press Control-Up Arrow (or Fn-F3) you'd get the Mission Control view showing any apps currently open as well as any Spaces at the top of the screen. One of those Spaces will have LR in it. You can just click and drag on the LR space to move the app from its Space back onto the main desktop space, and it'll revert to its normal position and size before you clicked on the green button (in effect, the same as if we were able to click on the green button to toggle maximise off).
Hope this helps...
