P: Allow Crop Overlay to persist after round-tripping to [ F ] Full screen

Hello, before this update happened, I could be in crop overlay and hit "F" for full screen to see if I liked the crop and centering then "F" again and it would stay on the crop overlay.  Now it reverts back to the Edit after I exit full screen.  How do I get this back so I'm not hitting "R" every time after?

 

Thank you.

Rather than all black  outside my crop, I want to see the remainder of my image at say 30% opacity.  THAT would definitely help inform my crop.

I see that change in behavior between LR 14.5 and 15.0.  I'm guessing it's unintended fallout from the significant modifications to the Crop UI to allow zooming while cropped.

 

A workaround is to type F to go to full screen and then R to exit full screen directly back to crop mode. (I understand that it will take months to retrain your fingers' muscle memory.)

@johnrellis, I've reviewed this with the team, and I will push it to Ideas rather than Bugs for the time being. I've asked Product Management to review the behavior as well.
