Opera stuck in speed dial-had to uninstall

Something very strange happened. Opera was running fine with about two dozen tabs opened. After a shutdown, I opened Opera and I only had the Speed dial and nothing else. No open tab bar. I couldn't access my task bar. There was no way to escape. I had to cntl/alt/delete to get the task manager and quit Opera. I did the same thing again and the same result, ie, use task manager to get out.
So I uninstalled Opera and then re-installed and now it's ok. I was on a fairly recent version of Opera.
What in the world just happened?

@pdw Full-screen mode perhaps? Needs F11 (or Esc) to exit into normal view.

Escape did not work. There was no min/max option visible to use.

In full screen there are no min/max indicators (in my case F11 makes enitrely blank screen in speeddial - I have cleaned my speeddial completely ).
Esc may not work, F11 should - but I have read about some problems with fullscreen mode, where no action can escape from it.

Yes-that's what I experienced. A full screen Speed Dial with no borders and no way out of it.

If it happens again, hit alt + p to see if settings then open in a new fullscreen tab. If so, try using F11 there.
