Full screen mode

When I click on the green dot in the image window in Photoshop, the image was previously scaled to the window size. For a few days now, clicking on it has shown me the image in full screen mode.

What do I have to change so that it returns to the way it was, i.e. when I click on the green dot, the image is set to window size and not full screen?

Activate native full screen in the preferences is not activated. When I activate it nothing changes.

Photoshop Version 25.4.0

macOS

One thing i forgot to mention is when you change Activate native full screen in the preferences, photoshop needs to restarted for the change to take effect.

So try going to Photoshop>Settings>Workspace check Enable Native Full Screen, then restart Photoshop.

Now go to Photoshop>Settings>Workspace and uncheck Enable Native Full Screen, restart Photoshop and see if that made any difference.

The solution you suggested does not resolve the issue. In version 25.4, the full screen on/off setting in preferences only functions in Photoshop's Application Frame mode. When Photoshop is in window mode, even if the native full screen is turned off in preferences, the window's behavior defaults to native full screen.

The checkbox for native full screen in Photoshop preferences only applies to the Application Frame. The behavior of the "green button" for each window becomes native full screen, regardless of whether native full screen is turned off or not. This behavior differs from previous versions. It seems like a check for each window's behavior was overlooked.

Please verify this in development.

This is how I work, without the application frame, and it is definetely a bug as it leaves my document permanently stuck in full screen mode no matter how many times I press F, Tab, or change the View settings. It didn't start happening until version 25.4.
