I've lost my minimize button!

[DIYTess]

The upper left corner of any window normally has a red, yellow and green button. The yellow one (in the middle) normally minimizes the window and places it in the Dock.

Well, mine has gone gray! It's not available anymore and I'm not able to minimize windows.

What do I need to do to turn it back on?

Thanks!
Tony

• Command+Control+F to exit (or enter) Full Screen Mode

[doublepost=1472826798][/doublepost]hi tony try this.. use green key to exit full screen, then expand the safari web page by using arrow keys( arrows will appear all around once u take the mouse cursor there).expand till it appears like fullscreen as u want. now close the safari using red key and reopen safari. i hope this will solve ur problem.

No offense, I'm sure Tony figured it out 10 years ago when he wrote the post...

This is just a totally random bug that has been around since 10.3. A restart fixes it.

I have restarted without success. The button only disappears when I maximize and then the yellow button is not yellow anymore. When this is the case, the control M does not change anything.

[doublepost=1547846078][/doublepost]This is constantly happening to me in Chrome. Restart and even re-installing Chrome won't fix it. Any other ideas?
