I use the auto-hide taskbar feature and I have problems with Google Chrome when it is maximized: the taskbar will not pop up at mouse hover over the taskbar position (really annoying).
I know that Google admits it is a bug and it hasn't been fixed yet, and probably it will never be fixed. My question is if you know a workaround to avoid this issue.

Apply a theme to Google Chrome to fix it.
7You can temporarily force out the auto-hidden taskbar from cover by bringing up the Start menu.
Use Ctrl + Esc to force the Windows Start menu to display, and with it, the taskbar will pop up.
3Try pressing F11 twice. It works for some.
3Yes, to get the task bar back, Restore Down, or double click an empty place on top. Then minimize the window. Then Restore the window, then Maxamize it. :) It works for me.
3From a Google support thread here:
2I'm running Windows 7, 32 bit and had the same problem that the taskbar (on autohide) won't appear with Chrome maximized. I solved this by setting the Properties -> Compatibility -> Compatibility mode to "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)" for chrome.exe.
