That's a flaw that needs to be fixed, or I have to Ctrl+T plus whatever the shortcut is to go to the new tab I just opened; that's a flaw that needs to be fixed.
Take Microsoft Edge for an example: I use full screen. I press Ctrl+T, it opens up and goes to the new tab. If I want to go to a different tab, I just go to where my tabs are, and they're brought down so I can select one of them.

Full screen means absolutely no UI, no interface, so if you need the interface to do something, then you need to exit full screen.

BTW, have you already tried the keyboard shortcuts to change tabs?
