Indesign presentation mode issue with external monitors

Hello, I'm working with Indesign 20.0.1 on a Macbook Pro 14" 2024 and Sequoia 15.1.1.

Please find bellow fullscreen shots that describe the problem.

01 : I'm working with a 3840x2160 HDMI external monitor.

02 : I'm often using the shortcut Shift+W to see the current page in presentation mode.

03 : When I'm pressing again the shortcut to exit fullscreen, Indesign's window is reduced,

and I have to extend it to fit again the screen (shot 01).

It also happens on my old Macbook Pro laptop.

This is wasting time in my workflow, does anyone work with the same setup and an external monitor to see if this happens too.
Thanks!!!
