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.

    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.
