Opera runs in full screen problem

I don't know what I've accidentally done, but suddenly when I open opera, it runs in total full screen - no tabs, no address bar, no side panel. Have restarted - makes no difference. Esc - does nothing. Can't get to the taskbar to close it. Only way out is crtl+del end process. Please can someone help!

F11 minimizes Opera to the taskbar - when I hit F11 again, it goes back to full screen. If I alt+space when in fullscreen, I can minimize or exit - maximise is in bold - minimizing takes it back to the taskbar...

Found my way out somehow - combination of Alt+spacebar when minimized (I think!) and then F11

I see my posts from yesterday have been closed.
Exactly the same issue again. Opens full screen, no tabs, menu etc.
Last night before I switched off, I had accidentally "found" the solution - I closed a normal sized window. - restarted opera and all good. Stratup my computer today and exactly the same problem. Hit F11 - and it get minimized to the task bar. I am desperate - there if some sequence of events that I cannot find - it involves ALT+spacebar and F11 - I know someone else has had the same problem, but couldn't remember how to solve it

@mike36 Open a new window (Ctrl-N) then close your fullscreen window; after the fullscreen window is closed you can also close the new window. Alternatively you can go to your Opera profile and delete the session file(s) (while Opera is closed). Both will result in closing all the tabs in the fullscreen window, though.
