How do I get out of 'full screen' mode?

[Nocturnal]

Hi,

I'm pretty sure I used to be able to switch from full screen mode to regular windowed mode but no matter how often I select View->Full Screen it remains in full screen. I'm running the very latest on Windows 7  01.08.03.1123.

Thanks!

Sander,

I just tried on my Windows 7 machine and had no problem from the menu or with the keyboard short cut. This may seem obvious but have you tried rebooting the computer?

I was hoping for a method that would not involve shutting down PI.

I think he means "rebooting the computer" as in a way to get rid of the problem that is preventing you from going to full screen to windowed, ie. a one time event.

Right, I'm pretty sure a reboot would clear the problem. I'm also pretty sure that simply killing PI would clear the issue.

This evening the lower tool bar in PI was slowly disappearing off the bottom of the screen with no way to recover it so I finally exited it. After restarting (no images loaded) I attempted to go into full desktop mode. It won't. The task bar remains visible. After clicking the desktop and screen buttons for a while PI is again frozen in full screen mode. Good thing is it finally popped over the task bar but bad thing is it is again locked there. Sounds like one of those mysterious UI bugs I tend to find in PI that Juan will say don't exist

Oh, that suggests PI is running 100% of the time in that box. I didn't knew that, sorry.

I assume you've already tried with VIEW > Full Screen (Ctrl+Alt+U) ? This works without problems on all of our machines on all platforms...
