--- Comment #16 from Tor Lillqvist <tml at iki.fi> ---
I find it somewhat sad that the change in comment #9 are implemented without
checking how confusing it ends up working in the end. Steve, you say
"Fullscreen (ctrl cmd F) is identical to fullscreen triggered via the green
bubble." It very obviously is not. Did not actually check? Did you not see any
difference in look or behaviour?

I really think making the Ctrl+Cmd+F shortcut toggle LO's own "full-screen"
mode was a mistake. That shortcut should mean the same as clicking the green
bubble on the title bar. It does not. We should have kept the old shortcut to
avoid confusing the two concepts.

(The green bubble toggles the macOS full-screen state, where the app window
being full-screened is on a desktop of its own and fills the screen completely,
with the title bar visible only if you move the cursor to the top. This is
completely different from LO's own "full-screen" mode, where the window stays
on the same desktop where it was. The title bar is somehow hidden sure, but the
window is actually not locked at full screen size. One can drag it smaller, and
then end up in a truly horrible and confusing state.)

I repeat, I think we should just remove the current hack to "support" macOS
full-screen mode from the code. I will do that when/if I can find inspiration.
Then just LO's own "full-screen" thing will remain.

Sure, that is far from ideal. What *should* be done, if somebody had the
inspiration and resources, would be to get rid of LO's own full-screen mode
completely on macOS, and just implement the macOS full-screen mode properly.
