The screen flipping stuff is complex and doesn't match up with the original windows code base very well.
Just took a look at that on Mac.
Hitting F11 goes back and forth between Cover View and Theater view on the Mac.
If it's trying to go to cover view on linux, I'm not even sure that's implemented.
Just tried that. Looks like that's what's going on.

Is there any configuration workaround?  My kiddo keeps accidentally pressing the button twice and getting stuck on the white screen  :-[

The white screen shouldn't happen. It's some sort of timing issue on the video mode change.
Looking into it.
You should always be able to get back to standard mode by doing
ctrl 1

bob:
F11 fixed in build 28.0.32

bob:
Actually both of the first 2 issues should be fixed now.

There are still a couple of squirrely behaviors remaining with fullscreen and certain window managers.
Keep the reports coming. These are really difficult to track down but it feels good to get them fixed.

Awesome.  I can confirm that the F11 issue is fixed in the latest build, and I haven't been able to trigger a white screen through fast seeking anymore so I think you fixed that too.  Thank you very much!

One issue I can still reproduce (at least on one machine): if I set MC to startup in theater view it will still startup with the blank white screen with the latest build on one of my boxes.  If I startup in standard view and switch to theater view, I have no issues.  For some reason starting up in theater view seems to still trigger it?  I can CTRL-1 out of the white screen, so it's recoverable.  Weirdly this doesn't happen on most of my machines.  On one machine it's 100% reproducible; that box is Debian 11, Gnome, X11 session, Nvidia graphics if any of that is meaningful.  I can also produce a log if that would help.

Thank again for all your work on these bugs!
