Interface, Start in Full Screen mode inconsistancy

[Bill Martin]

When Interface, Start in Full Screen mode is checked, then Mixxx is closed and opened, it starts in full screen mode, however, menu item View, Full Screen is not checked and clicking this menu item does not toggle to sizable screen. Subsequently selecting this option will cycle Full screen to sizable correctly. Also, at least on my system, the F11 key does nothing.

I remember this was already reported in conjunction with another bug but I don't find that right now.

Anyway, the behaviour is fixed in Mixxx 2.3 (at least here on Linux).
Can you confirm that for your platform?

Windows 10. Mixxx 2.3.0-beta (build 2.3 r7443)

In Mixxx in full screen mode, uncheck Preferences, Interface, Start in Full Screen Mode. Apply, OK then close Mixxx. On startup Mixxx will be in Full Screen mode and the menu option View, Full Screen mode will not be checked and will not do anything if selected. In general it actually works, it's only this specific set of conditions.

@ronso0 The related bug you remember is #1882474 but it was partially solved.
It was solved only the part of being unable to enter-exit fullscreen. This was only solved.

The wrong appearance of the rest checkboxes of this View dropdown menu as well as their incorrect operation after enter- exit fullscreen wasn't solved.

In linux Mint 19.3 (bionic) V 2.3.0 git 7749 downloaded today,
all options and their related Ctrl # shortcuts

show skin settings menu ctrl 1
show microphone sevtion ctrl 2
show vinyl control section ctrl 3
show preview section ctrl 4
show coverart section ctrl 6
maximize library space

continues to do nothing after change the state of fulscreen.
You have to restart the software in the new state (full or windowed) to resume operation of the above checkboxes and their shortcuts.

@geozubuntu Please file a separate bug report for that.
We need more infos then, for example your DE (desktop environment, login session).

https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/3493 might fix that.
Please test, in every PR there are now installable build artifacts available for download.
