@leocg This is a well known, old problem. The following 'locked' thread has more details.
https://forums.opera.com/topic/25654/opera-stuck-in-full-screen-no-way-outI created a new problem, and gave my work-around because the original thread is locked and I cannot add.
As for when it happens, I am not sure. I touched something, maybe F11, and it went into full screen. I assumed that Esc would get me out, it didn't. I had to 'Alt-Tab' and go to a different window and google in Firefox, and came across that forum entry above, with no solution. I killed Opera, relaunched, still stuck, and no 'Exit full screen' etc. option anywhere. I went into settings because it was possible and there I see the 'Exit... ' in context menu.
Just implement 'Esc' or add 'Exit Full Screen' in the context menu, please.
Yes indeed -- tablet mode forces your computer to work like an iPad, where everything is always full screen. Some people only use Windows if it acts like an iPad.

to exit fullscreen, right click on the mouse button to get the options screen, it's that easy.

what I did typed alt+p to get to settings them went to shortcuts setting and changed toggle fullscreen to something that wasn't used unlike f11 (which changes brightness for me) and once I changed the shortcut I put the new full screen command in and I was out of full screen

faced the same issue while reading the novel on a random site readlightnovel.info
That site looks for sale now, it has ads as "related searches" only.

I was enjoying Opera GX as a browser, till I "fullscreened" a certain Gx.gaming site game. Now it's stuck in full screen. Can't F11/F12 to reduce the size back to normal, can't close the software with alt-F4, And when I finally gave up and hit Cntrl+Shift+Esc, and ended task, i noticed that there were (23) Opera GX instances running, while I was just playing a game. What the hell? So ...yeah I dunno about Opera GX, seems a little Kooky to say the least.

@downscale While stuck in full screen is a bug, it's quite normal for browsers to use a lot of processes

Thank you for providing the solution！ But I have forced my computer to reboot after shutting it down. I will try it next time if I will come across it again, thanks again！

Once you are stuck in full screen and Esc and F11 do not work, you can press SHIFT + F10 and select exit full screen.

Open a new tab, right click, go to settings, go to shortcuts, change the fullscreen shortcut to something else, and use that.
