fullscreen

I am running 64-bit Ubuntu 13.10, have latest stable google-chrome version 30.0.1599.114-1. Whenever I enter fullscreen mode by pressing F11, it would never exit this mode by pressing F11. Actually, I see it exit but then fullscreen mode is quickly restored.

I searched for a solution, but nothing really helps. I even tried completely re-installing it with no luck. Any suggestions?

Update: I tried completely removing ~/.config/google-chrome, it did not help.

Update 2: I am running Cinnamon 2.0.6, maybe that would give some clues.

Thanks, Nick.

Recently VLC has been having issues displaying video in fullscreen mode. AFAIK, nothing has changed with the video card drivers and it's certainly the same version of VLC.
