Rhythmbox Party Mode can't be exited in Unity

[mjb]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

If one runs Unity and switches to the Party Mode in Rhythmbox (View-Menu), he is unable to switch back to normal mode (if he forgot the correct key) as the panel and the launcher disapear.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I am affected by this bug. I first noticed during Oneiric Ocelot, but it happened again today and I am using Ubuntu 12.04.
I've had to switch to a CLI terminal by using Ctrl+Alt+F1 so I could reboot because that was the only way I figured I could do it.

This should be a high priority bug as 'party mode' seems like a main feature of Rythmbox and the fact it doesn't work with Unity will impact many users.

When pressing the superkey, the Dash is shown, by you are unable to press anything, it just clicks on Rythmbox behind it.

As a quick fix if you do go into party mode, press F11 to exit

Thanks Adam

When in party mode, a button appears in the upper right corner which provides access to the menu (and allows disabling party mode). I think the bug can be closed.

I have Ubuntu 15.10 with the 3.2.1 Version of rhythmbox, finding out that the party mode is not working.

When I select to view the party mode, it just leaves the full screen mode.

Does anyone has the same problem?

The original issue was indeed fixed

But feel free to open a new bug about the party mode having issues in the newer versions
