      Hey folks,
      Whenever I have Opera open and do something that changes the screen's video settings, such as playing a video game, as soon as I return to the desktop, Opera appears as a window instead of it's usual maximized self. It's been doing this ever since the update last week, and it's starting to really annoy me.

      Is this a mere setting I need to change in Preferences? Or will it be fixed in the next update?

          Title corrected. Minimize means the program vanishes, leaving only the taskbar icon. Restore means to appear as a window, and Maximize means to occupy the full screen (but with the tab bar and so on).

            Actually, I don't think "restore" is the right word either. Opera remains "maximized", but it's done to the game's resolution, so when I return to desktop I have to double click the address bar to Window it, then double click again to maximize it to my desktop resolution.

            Anyway, I know it's not that big of a deal, but it'd be nice if the issue were addressed in a future update.

              Does Chrome do the same thing? If so it might be a renderer limitation.
