MuseScore is for the most part able to display the various windows such as Play Panel, Mixer, and Start Center while the main window is in full screen mode in Mac OS X. But there is one exception. Trying to show the Synthesizer while in full screen leads to some very weird behavior which is difficult to describe, but which I made a video of (zipped, attached), and which causes a crash. This is under Mac OS X Mavericks, 10.9.5. Screen_Capture.mp4_.zip

If the synthesizer has been opened once before going full screen and reopening it again, there is no crash. The crash only happen when creating the synth UI while being in full screen.

True—and very interesting. This may explain why I never came across the issue before. So, is there anything that can be done about it?

I couldn't find much more. It seems that addWidget() is buggy on mac with full screen. Something that could be useful is to make a simple app to demonstrate that it's really the case and submit a bug to Qt.
