@friendshipseeker If you use F11 to go full screen, then you exit from it also using F11. Esc is for when you go full screen by clicking on some button in the page.

@friendshipseeker just in case anyone encounters this problem, the solution I did was to delete my opera gx browser on my windows laptop and downloaded it immediately again. When the browser opened after I re-installed it, the speed dial is not in full screen anymore. Hope this helps

@friendshipseeker If F11 and Esc don't work, try hitting alt + space and then choose "maximize" or "size" and resize. If that doesn't work, try hitting Windows Key + d a bunch of times.

@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

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！
