Using Masking panel in Full Screen

When using masking tools in Lightroom 6.1 on Mac (Ventura 13.1), going to full screen and back reliably causes the floating Masking panel to remain on the screen when changing to other tools. This also results in a duplicate floating Masking panel to appear if you select masking again.

 

To replicate:

- start masking in a photo (add a mask, make some changes - it seems that a mask needs to be active and expanded in the floating panel for this bug to occur)

- click F for full-screen

- close full-screen (seems to require both Esc and F to be clicked)

- change to other tool (e.g. Edit tool panel)

Effect:

- Floating masking panel remains on screen

 

In addition:

- move floating masking panel out of the way

- select Masking tools again (M)

- a second floating masking panel appears

 

The only way to resolve this is to close and re-open the program.

I am not able to replicate this behavior with these instructions. 
"- close full-screen (seems to require both Esc and F to be clicked)"  I do not need an [Esc] Key

 

"Effect:

- Floating masking panel remains on screen"
At this step, the masking panel disappears on my system.

 

Perhaps a video showing the behavior would help?

A slight clarification with the title - it was edited to say that this is an issue when using the masking panel "in full screen". That isn't quite the case - the problem is viewing the photo in full screen ("Detail - Full Screen", F key) when you happen to have the masking tools selected. This does not relate to having the application running in full screen mode.
