Title: Full Screen Mode
Post by: Rendezvous on March 16, 2014, 06:52:40 pm

Hello

With LR5 I am having a problem with the full screen mode. Occasionally I want to preview an image full screen. I do so by pressing F. When I press F again to exit the full screen preview, LR5 reverts to a different screen mode, such as menu bar visible and gaps around the program where I can see the desktop. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yes, I've had this bug.  I believe it started with 5.2 or perhaps 5.3RC.  I remember being disappointed that it wasn't fixed in the final version of 5.3.

Edit:

Here are some links.  They confirm that this bug first appeared in 5.2.

Not sure of your meaning.  The problem I have is that when I hit F or Esc to exit Full Screen Preview mode, the program often acts as if I had also hit Shift-F a couple of times to change Screen Mode from "Full Screen With Menu Bar" to "Normal" (which shows LR in a window with title bar, borders, etc).  So then I have to hit Shift-F to switch back to "Full Screen With Menu Bar".

BTW: I'm on Mac OSX 10.7.5 (Lion).  I don't know if this happens on other versions or OSX or on Windows.

On my Windows system, LR 5.3, Shift-f cycles through the three screen modes, the f key alternates between full screen and not full screen. Furthermore, if one tries to use the f-key while in full-screen, it works the same as the f-key.

Perhaps the Mac version is different.

Good luck with this

Thanks everyone.

I have other random issues with keyboard shortcuts too. Most of them only intermittent, such as if I'm in develop module and press the backslash key to toggle between before and after, I sometimes get a popup window asking me to confirm I wish to delete the image. The same happens with other keys at times as well.
