Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop without menu-bar

[bkneandertal]

Hello,
I am testing Safe Exam Browser 3.6.1 on macOS 26.3 (Tahoe) on a private, unmanaged Mac. The focus ist the final examination at our vocational training classes.
Even with the following configuration:

• Kiosk Mode: None (for debugging only)
• “Enable macOS kiosk mode”: disabled
• No client configuration installed
• No MDM profile
• No saved client lock
• No .seb file enforcing kiosk

SEB always launches in a presentation mode where:

• The macOS menu bar is hidden
• The desktop background turns dark grey
• The Dock is hidden

Standard macOS fullscreen toggle (Ctrl+Cmd+F) does not restore the menu bar
This happens even when launching SEB.app directly (without a .seb configuration file).
Is this the intended behavior in SEB 3.6.x on current macOS versions?
Or is this related to changes in macOS 26 (Tahoe) and NSApplicationPresentationOptions?
For context:
I am trying to allow Adobe applications (e.g. InDesign) as permitted foreground apps during exams. Since Adobe relies heavily on the macOS system menu bar, this behavior makes them difficult to use.
Is there currently any supported way in SEB 3.6.x on macOS to:

• Run without separate desktop
• Keep the macOS menu bar visible
• Still maintain exam security?

Thank you very much for clarification.
