This shows Squid note taking app with shelf visible and in the way, no way to get rid of it.

CBC-RS/TC-watchlist

Confirming behaviour on my caroline 65.0.3325.65. 

You can enter/exit full/immersive screen mode by pull down top > 3 dot menu > full screen icon.

Tried to take a screenshot with stylus in full screen > can not.

Took screenshot with power + volume buttons > notification does not show.

Sorry, comment 3 meant for issue 813428.

Conforming same problem with shelf on cyan 65.0.3325.65 beta

Somehow, I was unable to find this issue earlier, and created yet another report:  crbug.com/813455 

This is incredibly annoying.

I believe this was a deliberate change.

 Issue 813455  has been merged into this issue.

If this is deliberate, then are there any plans to mitigate its effect on stylus usage? Palm rejection or something along those lines? 

It doesn't make sense to sell a premium device like the Pixelbook with an explicit emphasis on the Pen on one hand, and then just turn around and gimp its usage on the other. Does anyone on the Chromium team even use the stylus?

If this is deliberate, how do we get an Android app like Squid to go full-screen when in tablet mode?  The only way I know to do it, is to go back to clamshell mode, then go full screen, then go back to tablet mode.

This is an incredibly clunky user interface to say the least!  It used to work so nicely when you could swipe the shelf to visible or not visible.  Now its a nightmare.   Please reconsider this change.

Since research reveals that many Chromebook users have been adversely affected by the Chrome OS development team's decision to force the shelf to be in 'Bottom' position in Tablet Mode (and in Tent and Entertainment modes, too), I have compiled a comprehensive campaigning Issue Report, asking the Chrome OS development to undo this regressive, freedom-limiting restriction, by restoring our 'Left' and 'Right' shelf position options to Chrome OS Tablet Mode:

● 'Prior Tablet Mode Shelf Position "Bug Fix" Seriously Degrades Chromebook UX', 03 Mar 2018
» https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=818423
— contains links to six related Issue Reports, and copies of 12 other end user complaints regarding the detrimental effects of restricting shelf position in Tablet & Tent & Entertainment Modes to 'Bottom' only.

If you too would appreciate the restoration of the 'Left' and 'Right' shelf position options to Tablet & Tent & Entertainment Modes, then please:
1. click on the link above,
2. scroll down to the bottom of the Issue Report webpage, and
3. click on the star, to 'Vote for this issue and get email change notifications';
4. optionally, do please also add a comment of your own, maybe describing how the new, forced, 'Bottom'-only shelf position imposition adversely affects your own use of Chrome OS.

Thanks in advance for your help in restoring user-determined shelf position freedom to Chrome OS Tablet Mode.

Thank you for all your feedback, I care deeply about it, I'd like to track it in a clean single bug.

My thanks to omrilio@chromium.org for consolidating the nine Chrome OS Tablet Mode shelf-related issue trackers which I identified (plus my own) into a new meta-issue-tracker:

Thanks in advance for your help in restoring user-determined shelf position freedom to Chrome OS Tablet Mode.
