Question

Illiustrator window in fullscreen after escaping presentation mode

Illustrator version 28.3
When entering presentation mode (shift+F), and then escape, Illustrator windows becomes fullscreen.
It's over my screen size. This causes me to manually adjust the window every time. It would be great to get back to same size and position.

I tested the previous version. Version 28 is the only normal version. All other versions have problems.

    I have this same problem. I have tried to clarfiy in a previous post. It's not a problem of USING Presentation Mode, it what Illustrator does to the Workspace when you leave Presentation Mode. When I leave Presentation Mode, my workspace has expanded to the edge of the monitor and shifted things around. This is even with things set with a custom Workspace.

        Still no solution and no response to these posts from Adobe after you posted 5 months ago. I guess they are not concerned that what probably is an easy fix is wasting their customers' time. Very frustrating!

        Hi @angoo14565240 & @silviar76456244,

         

        Thanks for your patience. I’ve tested this again on macOS Sequoia 15.3.2 with Illustrator v29.4 on a MacBook M1 MAX, and I’m still unable to reproduce the issue. I’m attaching a video from my Mac to show my test results.

         

        To help troubleshoot further, could you please try running Illustrator in Mac Safe Mode (without opening any other apps) and check if the issue persists?

         

        Looking forward to your confirmation. Thanks again for your cooperation!

         

        Best,

        Anshul Saini


        My Macbook has Apple M3 Pro chip, Sequoia 15.3.2 and Adobe Illustrator 29.4. I've tried running the safe mode, but the bug still persists. Please let us know what else to try to solve this problem, since it is really annoying working on AI this way. Thanks

          Try the presentation mode in View > Presentation mode.

          I think the problem Angoo is describing is not how TO VIEW IN Presentation mode but what happens to their workspace when they come out of it. 

          I have the same problem. When coming out of Presentation Mode, my workspace has been converted to full screen, even though I have set a custom default workspace. And every time I view in Presentation Mode, I have to go back and adjust my workspace when I leave Presentation Mode. I hope that's more clear.
