Sorry for the late response @amithm7 .

I've been so busy lately.

But for your question I would like to answer that, even if it is so late.

You can't exit the full screen feature in every break if you enable the full screen break feature inside the settings tab. It is necessary, especially for those users who wants to take a break but tempted not to.

If you did not like it, just disable it anyway. Thank you and Regards.

@roldanjr Thank you for the response

You can't exit the full screen feature in every break if you enable the full screen break feature inside the settings tab.

As I said, this behaviour isn't documented anywhere or warned anywhere in the app, not even as tool-tip on the checkbox of this setting. This isn't expected behaviour for something which says 'Fullscreen break'. Gnome-pomodoro also has fullscreen break which I can just wiggle out of, if I need to.

I was playing around with this app to test it and I was locked out of my screen; this sent me into panic for sometime, till I could remember how to xkill the process.

It is necessary, especially for those users who wants to take a break but tempted not to.

This feature should be then re-named to something like "Forced Screen lock break", if you want to keep this behaviour. This is only suited to certain type of users who do all the work on the screen and aren't bothered by sudden screen-locking.

Imho it should not be possible. This is kind of defeating the whole point of the app.

Just going through the backlog and will check out some info, i know in dev you can press escape though in my opinion there should be a toggle to select if you want to be able to exit out of fullscreen or not
