Describe the bug When using the option View -> Fullscreen, I can set the application to fullscreen. But when I select the option again (to exit fullscreen) it does not exit fullscreen. The tick mark does disappear, but application stays in fullscreen. Using local app on Win11.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'View'
2. Click on 'Fullscreen'
3. Repeat 1 and 2
4. Observe application still in FullScreen mode.

Expected behavior I expected the application to exit fullscreen mode when I click on fullscreen again and the tick mark is gone.

Screenshots none

This options is mainly irritating, the application is still usable. Just cannot move the application to another screen when using multiple monitors 😄

I did it, just delete appdata delete folder "draw.io" in 'Users\AppData\Roaming'

I also encountered this problem and did some research. At first glance it looks like this:

Whenever the position or size of a window is changed, its state, including full-screen mode, is written to %appdata%\draw.io\config.json. After the application is launched again, the data is read and if the window was full screen before, the window state is applied via setFullScreen(true) for the electron window in the main process. This prevents the fullscreen api from functioning from the renderer process. Accordingly, we cannot change the state of the fullscreen electron window from the renderer process and config.json does not change either. We are locked in this state.

Accordingly, one solution for developers is to use additional ipc events to change the full-screen state in the main process from the renderer process.

A temporary solution for users to avoid deleting all application data is to delete config.json and restart the application, this will reset the fullscreen state and window position.

i did same test! :) Confirm that it works for me. Preserved prefs and notes.

Thanks for the responses, I was able to get out of fullscreen with the suggestions.

This issue is all about Windows OS, I'd provide a Linux workaround here, similar to what @Corginyan said.

rm ~/.config/draw.io/config.json
