If I uncheck “Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen”, the Toolbar/Address bar doesn’t show up when I move my mouse to the top.
Are you using the Compact mode at this time by chance? If so, this is known and we have an open issue to fix this here:

### Description
Found while testing https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issu… es/56914
There are issues when using full screen view (with and without "Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen" enabled) in conjunction with Compact mode for tabs, however the issue observed can vary depending on the state the browser is in when it is launched.
### Steps to reproduce
#### Scenario 1: "Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen" On / Compact Mode Off
Description: "Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen" = On and Compact Mode = Off when browser is launched
1. Clean profile/install of 1.93.131 (can close/relaunch to pull griffin but I don't think it matters)
2. Check macOS application menu (top bar) and make sure View > "Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen" is checked
3. Enable compact mode
4. Go full screen
5. See toolbar is shown as expected
6. Change View > "Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen" to be unchecked
--> toolbar is still shown and it should not be

If you’re not using compact mode, I would wager it may be an extension you have installed in the browser that may be conflicting with the functionality.
Yes, I’m using both compact mode and vertical tabs. the bug is in these options. Thanks for responding , and I hope you resolve this issue soon. Good job
