not a version 20 specific issue but a more general design choice that gets in the way of a nice full screen experience.
when Resolve is not in full screen mode, the three window control buttons (the traffic lights on Mac) are neatly displayed to the left of Media Pool, Effects, Index etc etc
this is great,
but when you go into full screen mode, I find I am always activating the window control dropdown bar, when I only want to click on something at the top of the screen, this bar drops down and covers UI that sits at the top of the screen.
Check out how Safari or Mail on MacOS handles this in full screen view for a far more elegant solution.
for the simplest solution, please just continue to show the window control buttons in full screen the exact same way they are shown in full screen mode.
for a slightly more advanced option do it the way Safari or Mail do where the UI slides to the left and right to accommodate them when you bring your mouse to the top of the screen
a bar that runs the whole width of the screen just isn't very becoming of an otherwise beautifully and thoughtfully designed application.
