Many times when I right click for a menu in File Explorer, tortoiseGit spins and spins before showing the menu. I have tried all the tricks, that I can find, to avoid this spinning. Please outline the best way to fix the indexing show this doesn't continue to happen

When you open the file menu (or any other menu in the menu bar), it looks something like the attached image.
MacOS file menu
In Windows, when you select the command you want, the menu instantly disappears and the action is instantly performed. In MacOS, however, the command you chose blinks, the window fades out, and then the action is performed.
I know there are commands and settings to disable certain animations in MacOS, but I can't seem to find one relating to this yet.
This is one of my major pet peeves with MacOS and I'd appreciate any help. It might be the case that I'm making a huge deal out of this when it's not as such, but it does get annoying sometimes and slows down my workflow.
Thanks!
I'm usually working with IntelliJ IDEA on MacOS in fullscreen mode. When I try to access something in the toolbar, I often overshoot the target a little, and the main menu bar opens instead, hiding the toolbar. So I have to move the mouse a little lower, wait and move carefully into the toolbar again. This is quite annoying. Are there any tips to avoid this? Is it possible to move the toolbar, say, to the bottom of the screen?
It doesn't seem to be possible at the moment, but there are 2 open requests you can vote for:

Photoshop CS2 always stay on top, even when I click another app from the windows taskbar (right of the start button).
It's completly annoying me. Always need minimized, click the other app, reclick again on photoshop, re-reminimized.
I only have 1 screen at work so I can't let photoshop on one screen and work with the other app on the other screen.
I look in all photoshop menu, find nothing
I googled the problem, and find a adobe page explain this problem is a "feature".
I only want photoshop cs2 work all other app on windows and loose focus, let new app appear on top.
Thank you.
I had this problem and somehow solved it. But my solution may be just as fickle as why the problem occurs in the first place. But here's what I did:
On the layers palette (F7) I clicked on the small arrow just below the close "X" button, on the right. Then I selected "Pallete Options"
Didn't change any options but just clicked OK.
Now the entire window remained on top, not just the palettes. So I restarted Photoshop and it seemed to fix the issue.
I found that if you open up "edit > preferences > Memory & Image Cache" and set your memory usage up then it will fix it. I am on a Windows 10.

Go to Edit > Preferences > File Handling > Uncheck Enable Version Cue Workgroup File Management
I literally JUST found this on accident and fixed it after having issues with all my toolbars being hidden behind stuff, and not being able to minimize without clicking on the PS window first etc. Seems to have worked!

I am having same issue with CS2 on Windows 7 64 bit. To work around, I hit tab on keyboard when photoshop window is active, that makes all pallets invisible, then I can switch to any window I need to work on.
As per this article there seem to be issue with Microsoft update https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2142314
With a 14" LCD monitor (1366x768), my VS2010 can only display 21 lines in code editor. There are too many tool bars occupied upper and bottom part (see below screenshot). When writing codes, it's OK to use fullscreen mode. However, when reading codes, I need some of the toolbar like the bookmark bar, open file tab. Is there any suggestion to increase the viewing area?
Create a single custom toolbar with just the commands you really use in it. Remove the other toolbars. Close tool windows docked at the bottom.
There is an addon that can even remove the menu bar – you'll need to learn keyboard shortcuts (this is a good idea anyway: moving a hand to/from the mouse is much slower).
Increase secreen resolution
Use a different font such as Terminal or Consolas. I guess you must be already using Consolas, try Terminal.
Decrease the font size.
Turn monitor by 90 degree, so it is higher not wider.
Besides that - get a decent monitor. 14" is barely legal acording to some european laws for office use. Programmers tyically get a lot bigger.
Customize your toolbars and get rid of the buttons you don't use. You'll probably be able to fit everything on one row after that.
For example, I don't think I have used the toolbar buttons for cut/copy/paste, using the keyboard instead, so those were the first buttons I removed.
On the right side of each toolbar, there is a button with an arrow, click on that and you should see "customize this toolbar" in the drop-down menu.
Well, if you are having an older notebook, you might not able to change your display, increase your screen resolution or turn the monitor by 90 degrees, like the others suggested. Here are my suggestions for when this is the case:
Place your toolbars left or right instead at the top or bottom
close output window
use fullscreen mode and learn keyboard shortcuts for bookmarks and file menu functions, so you can work without the specfic toolbars
I use Full Screen mode (ALT+SHIFT+ENTER to toggle) when doing the actual editing, with only the solution explorer open on the right hand side.
In a custom toolset I have installed for Visual Studio, there is a popup window that should appear to me so that I can manipulate one of the lists (an in-built editor). The component is Telerik, but I don't think that has anything to do with it (maybe).
The popup window is no longer popping up to me. I wonder if it got minimized or it's a z-index thing, where the window is behind VS? But this locks up VS, and I can't do anything within it until I cancel the window. But I can't cancel the window because I can't see it... and so that is really slowing me down and is really frustrating.
Is there a way to get around this? A key press to bring this to the front or give it the focus?
Thanks.
You should be able to cancel it with ESC. You can also test if you can find the window with CTRL-TAB. If this not help then an uninstall, boot and reinstall seems the only possible solution.
This might be a z-index issue indeed. Try using FireBug or IE dev toolbar to get a hold on the popup and its container and check their styles and z-indices.
