[Bug 226561] Re: Can't escape full screen mode

[James Legg]

I have found that there is a button to leave full screen mode only when
I enable the navigation toolbar, which is then displayed in full screen
mode. So "Firefox doesn't provide you with any kind of visual toolbar to
click on in full screen mode in ubuntu" is wrong.

I have moved what I needed from the navigation toolbar to the menu bar
and turned off the navigation toolbar to save space. I do not think this
is an unreasonable thing to expect a user to do.

Again, I know the F11 keyboard shortcut, but I don't have any keys that
map to F11. My actual F11 key is mapped to middle click, this is the
Ubuntu default for my hardware. Also, any user who wasn't aware of the
shortcut would not know how to escape full screen mode in this
situation.

Users of Firefox should able to get out of full screen mode when they
use it with the navigation toolbar disabled, regardless of their memory
of the keyboard shortcut. This is a serious usability issue, and I think
that makes it a worthwhile bug.
