Stuck in full screen mode

My Lightroom Classic is stuck in full screen. I cannot access the three buttons in the top left to reduce it. I tried the usual; restart but no change. Please advise, Thanks.

Try using the Shift+F key combination once or twice (it toggles between the normal display and a couple of different full-screen displays).

I have the same problem. Somehow LRC went into dark mode and full screen. It seems frozen.  Checking the normal box makes no difference. All key combinations don't have any effect. Restarting LRC and MAC makes no difference. I'm running LRC 13.3.1. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Me too - using Dell XPS+ 13 Windows 11 --- Frequently full screen using F gets stuck when I zoom in or out so that Shift-F repeated or otherwise, fails to return to normal no combination of keys seem to work just the message appears in slightly different locations  saying Press Shift-F for Normal View or some such. Only way to exist appears to be to call task manager and kill Lightroom. Frustrating.

There are several ways to get out of full screen mode.

You can press F, Shift+F, Escape, or G. You can also press R, which will take you Crop in normal screen mode.
