(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-DE; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-DE; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1

I don't know the cause for the problem, but I found an example page where you
can see the problem. If someone figures out what the reason is and can say it in
a more general why instead of my example page, please do so, because the example
page will change soon.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. open a new firefox window (not a tab, i didnt test it in a tab)
1. open http://www.jugend-gruendet.de
2. click on the left side on "Zum Spiel" (red font) (opens a popup)
3. make sure that the new window, that just opend, is active (blue title bar
instead of a grey (in windows))
4. Press [F11] to switch the page in fullscreen mode
5. click on "login" on the top. (now the cursor should be in the text box and
you should be able to enter text)
6. Press [F11] to switch back to window mode (this shouldn't work, at least it
doesn't on my computer)
7. to test this without having the cursor in a text box:
7.1 click on "Marktplatz" -> "Arbeitsamt" in the menu at the top of the page
7.2 now you should see a page with text but no text box. now hit [F11]. F11
doesnt work again.
7.3 hit [alt] + [f4] to get rid of the page.
Actual Results:  
window did not leave full screen mode

Expected Results:  
should leave full screen mode and enter window mode

I did deactivate my flash plugin....but that doesn't work anyway because of an
other bug (which is already entered in bugzilla).

I guess the severity is something in between of "minor" and "who cares!?" :-)

I was not able to reproduce using your first suggestion but when going to
"Arbeitsamt", I was not able to maximise the window to full screen with F11. 

However, I think this is a dupe of bug 186993.

Umm yes, sorry it is a dupe. The search function of bugzilla should be improved
imidiatly! I never found a similar bug jet, even if a bug was already entered a
few times.
