can't exit full screen mode in qpdfview

This is wierd...somehow in qpdfview I selected full screen mode from the window menu (not from the VIEW menu or F11) but by right clicking at the very top of the window and selecting fullscreen from among the various choices like minimize, resize, roll window up, etc. Upon doing so, now, whenever I open a pdf in qpdfview it is always in that fullscreen mode and I can't get out of it. Not by F11. Not by trying in the VIEW menu with 'FULL SCREEN'. I uninstalled, reinstalled...no dice. Installed Okular and that works fine.

While qpdfview is in this fullscreen mode selected from the window menu...if I locate my cursor/mouse at the top of the fuulscreen display no menu pops up to select exit fullscreen mode and if I right click at the top of the fullscreen window no menu appears either. I even played with right clicking the Launcher menu item for qpdfview and selecting 'edit this application' and then editing the entry there which is 'qpdfview --unique %F'.

I'm stumped, Jack

Try using the escape key and/or alt-f4 (to close)

Go into your .config folder and delete the qpdfview folder and then reopen the program.
*note this -will- reset everything back to default.

And that 6.0.0 kernel your on is known to be buggy. I would suggest upgrading your kernel.
