'M1 mac - green button dropped down' has been merged into this idea

Missing close, minimize, and maximize buttons on Mac when using Magnet

I use Magnet and whenever I snap the window to the full screen (4K) the maximize, minimize and close buttons all disappear.

    The red, yellow, green window dots are not showing up in the upper left hand corner of the homescreen and are instead stuck between learn and files on the left hand nav.

    When change window to maximum size with M1 mac (version 11.6). Red and Yellow buttons is gone, and Green button is dropped down.

    When working on a file, the Close, Minimize, and Expand window icons are not visible and cannot be used. I can only use them once I fully close out from all projects in order to close window. Please see images attached to see issues.

    Same problem here. This happens when I use a window manager to resize the window.

    Hi there

    I noticed this many times in previous versions since Adobe CC that I sometimes missing the Apples's 'traffic light' 3 coloured buttons when app is in full window (not maximised).

    Same in INDD

    macOS 10.14; Illustrator 22.1

    Window snapping Illustrator (using tools like Moom, Spectacle, Magnet, etc.) forces the "traffic light" icons in the top left of the window to move from their default location.

    Sometimes the icons fall halfway off the top of the title bar; sometimes they fall all the way off; sometimes they aren't affected at all. There doesn't seem to be any way to recreate the issue consistently.

    Manually adjusting the size of the window by stretching it with a mouse will reset the icons to the correct position.

    This seems to be related to https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-bugs/suggestions/32614258-bug-app-window-missing-close-minimize-expand, except my issue only occurs during window snapping.

    Same problem. Been putting up with it, but frustrated this hasn't been fixed.

    Often times my application window is missing these buttons which is annoying when I'm trying to resize or minimize the window. I'm not really sure what triggers it or have steps to reproduce. It's possible that it happens when I am connected to a second monitor and move the window between. Or when I disconnect.

    Usually, I will have to quit and restart the app to get it back.
