Linux, cant get out of fullscreen
Trying to make it run in a window and nothing i can do seems to work.

Im on ubuntu 16.04

The fullscreen checkbox is unchecked and no matter what res i set it to it still goes full screen... i've tried just about every combination of keys i can think of

alt-space (bring up menu window to get to resize - nothing happens, same with move)
ctrl-enter is what unity believes is the "full screen" toggle mode

I've downloaded the settings file in the troubleshooting advice thread

so far no luck... anyone got any hints on how to turn it into a window i might of over-looked?

Hey, sorry to hear that. Can you try checking that checkbox in the settings then closing the settings window then opening it up again unchecking the checkbox and again closing the settings window? That might fix it. Sometimes the menu displays that incorrectly. I'll look into that again to see if I can find another solution. Apologies for the inconvenience.
