This is actually only an issue in Windows 7 if you place the taskbar on the
left of the
screen, with auto-hide enabled. (This is my preferred position on a
netbook.)

nope, its the issue ALL over the place, I wonder why google can't fix a
SIMPLE issue
like this one? :-|
Please fix this, Google!
This continues in Windows 7 and dramatically affects Chrome usability on my
netbook.
Please fix this
to solve the autohide issue, you just need to install a theme on your
chrome. That'll
fix it!
Tried installing a thme on chrome. Issue did not resolve itself...still
having
problems.
Tried latest dev channel version (5.0.317.2 dev). Still has the issue.
Tested it with and without themes. No change.
yup, this is still a problem, and quite annoying.
opera fixed this:

Alexander Kosenkov said in a discussion i saw....
I think, I know the root cause.
Windows Taskbar (explorer.exe) has 'presentation mode'. For example,
if you run Full-screen PowePoint presentation, Taskbar will be hidden.
As far as I understand, Taskbar switches to that mode if some window
has width & height of the screen and topleft position.
Possible soulutions (needs code changes):
1) Eaisest. Change windows size to 1 pixel less than the screen. This
will prevent Taskbar from going idle.
2) Right soultion. Find out how to tell Windows that our window is not
'fullscreen' but it is just maximized (pobably some Window attribute
should be set)

application-is-maximized
My problem is that Winamp will disappear.
To replicate:
1. Open Winamp and set in Always on Top mode,
2. Maximize Chromium,
Winamp will disappear behind Chromium. Only happens when Chromium is
maximized.
This is even worse with a Tablet PC, please fix this Google.
I use Windows 7. Same problem I can't get my taskbar appear when I max
Google Chrome
Confirmed on HP Vista 64bit ultimate edition.
Confirm in window 7
Same problem Windows 7 x64, it's really annoying :(
wtf google, fix this already! win7 home premium x64, chrome 4.0.249.89
(38071)
Same problem, win7 pro x64, chrome 5.0.360.0 dev, this problem is really
really
annoying. Please, try to fix it in close future... thanks
Confirmed with Win7 Home Premium x64. Chrome 4.1.249.1042 (42199). I echo
what a
previous user says; this is super-frustrating with a tablet, when there's
not even a
Windows key to fall back on.
Confirmed w/ a toshiba satellite on Windows 7 Pro
Nearly 1.5 years on and still no solution to the problem. Come on Google.
I can't believe this problem still exists. Running a theme seamed to help
but even that
doesn't seam to help anymore. For those on netbook without a windows key,
you can hit
Ctrl+Esc to bring up the start menu.
F11, F11 works well.. I just wish I didn't have to do this 300 times a
day. :)
just installed chrome on 7 Home Premium and its doing the same thing for
me, have to
either minimize chrome or hit the start button to get to the auto hid
taskbar. such a
pain in the butt. but chrome is still running better than firefox did so
i'm not
fussing to bad.
guys the desktop coral thing works great and takes 5 minutes....just go for
that
I am having similar problems. I really love the Chrome browser but I am
accustomed to
auto-hide taskbar. Have been since Windows 95. I am currently using Vista.
As reluctant
I am but this just might make me go back to Firefox. Please Google, fix
this..quick!
Sadly this long standing issue and the way developers dealt with it show
the kind of
respect that users should expect from the team. Such a shame about the
great work
guys working at V8 and other places of the browser if such an obvious and
hurting bug
in the eyes of the users remain ignored (it's about the main window of the
application screwing with the OS, not an obscure feature). This wouldn't
happen in a
commercial company where respect for users do count.
Opera 10.5 deals perfectly within the very same circumstance so it can be
fixed.
I am sure that Microsoft guys if asked will gladly provide the fix (anyone
remembers
how they worked with Firefox team to help fix FF for Win7?). It's about
asking and
getting a quick answer.
It's just about that: do your users worth more than your ego?
I am also experiencing this problem in the new beta version of firefox 4
which is funny because there is no top bar for its interface also like
chrome's and how the tabs are on top.
i have not used chrome for close to 2 years because of this annoying issue.
FIX IT and I will be the first to re-download chrome...
and yes, it still doesn't work
Chrome version 7.0.517.41
Problem persists. Maximized Chrome prevents appearance of auto-hidden
taskbar on secondary monitor(s). Problem is with Chrome, not with Windows.
Not all other maximized applications exhibit this problem, therefore it is
a problem with the applications that do have it.
Problem has been reported to affect the rocket dock as well.
In CSS there is something called z-index that determines what gets to
be 'on top'. I'd suggest checking if Windows applications can use something
functionally similar and then checking if Chrome is using it incorrectly.
Chrome version 8.0.552.215
Windows 7
I have this problem, but it has only occured since I upgraded today. Its
very annoying, and I can find no way around it. Entering full screen with
F11 and exiting again doesn't work. Any ideas?
Going back to FireFox due to this bug.
This just happened to me after updating XP to Service Pack 3. As with many
others reporting an issue, I have a multiple (3) monitor setup. My solution
was to right-click on the taskbar and select the 'Lock the Taskbar' option.
I've found a little work around if the chrome window goes into this, launch
a new chrome window and drag all tabs to it, thereby closeing the old
bugged window.
And those that say this isn't a windows bug, I've seen similar in all sorts
of windows programs (including microsoft ones) since the taskbar was
introduced back in windows 95.
Same problem with:
http://keepass.info/
Using Vista Pro latest and Chrome 10.0.648.151
Very annoying and defeats the purpose of a minimal screen footprint.
Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Very annoying.
I have the task bar on auto-hide. In Chrome and some other applications
when I hover over the area where the task bar should be it does not show
up. Also, can you explain why I can't pin a Chrome application to the
taskbar. I could in WinXP.

STILL FUCKING HAPPENING
This same problem appeared for me this morning. XP-Pro, Chrome v.
12.0.742.122 m
The fix I used was to unlock the Taskbar (from default setting), then
re-size the taskbar to double its height. Then I reset the size, locked it
again, and the issue went away. I did not see this fix anywhere else.
Come on google damn. Do you have the same quality control experts that
killed Microsoft's credibility?? This is a problem Chrome has had for 4
years. Get with it.
Windows 7 64 BIT, auto-hide, Chrome
I have the latest Chrome and windows XP SP3.
I have the same problem, chrome hides my taskbar. Very annoying.
I have found that it works correctly UNTIL you run a fullscreen app (e.g. a
game, I plat Team Fortress 2 a lot). After that the taskbar is a goner --
you have to restart Chrome before it works correctly again.

4 Years and this bug isn't fixed??? Come on it can't be that complicated.
And if the responses above from @chromium.org users is a fix, not all of us
are developers. Just fix the issue and update Chrome!
right click on the task bar, select "properties" and under task bar
appearance uncheck "use small icons", seems to work for some reason.
"use small icons" won't fix it for me
win 7 enterprise (32bit) + chrome 16.0.912.75 m
Come on, fix it
So, the response from the people who caused this problem that only exists
in Chrome, not Firefox, not IE, not Opera, is that it's an OS problem, and
they will ignore it? Ignoring a problem created by your incompetence is not
going to make it resolve itself.
