P: Update Adds Bug to exiting Full Screen Preview Mode

The Lightroom 5.2 update added a bug to the Full Screen Preview mode.

Previously, when in Full Screen Preview mode and you hit a quick key to enter a module (rather than exiting by hitting "F") it would simply exit the Full Screen Preview mode and enter said module without changing your screen mode, but now...

Now when I exit with "F" everything is fine, but if I exit with "Esc", "D", "G", or "E" then it takes me OUT of Full Screen and into Normal.

This is incredibly frustrating.

    This is still not fixed in 5.3 which I just installed.

    Yes, this is driving me mad as well.

    My workflow has me switching very frequently between Grid and Fullscreen or Develop and Fullscreen and when I am in mid-workflow, I want Lightroom to remain in "full screen" window mode if that's what I specified when I return to Grid or Develop.

    Not fixed in 5.3 RC. This is a defect.

    Full Screen Preview was a nice new features in 5. This 5.2 bug has made it annoying and less useful.

    I have exactly the same problem with Lightroom 5.2 on Mac OSX 10.8.5. I always work in full screen screen mode, and often toggle full screen preview mode with the F key (great feature). This worked perfectly in 5.0, but on 5.2, Lightroom frequently kicks me out of full screen mode, when exiting full screen preview mode.

    I can confirm the behaviour Michael explains, with one addition: If I am in Full Screen mode, enters Full Screen Preview (by pressing F), and then rapidly presses the F key two times in a row, Lightroom also revert to "Normal" screen mode.

    It's very fustrating.
