Bug Description

<Build: UME Daily Menlow 20082204>
<Environment: Jax10>
This problem also occurs on the Q1Ultra. It is made more serious by the fact that once you are in full screen (and thus can't get out of full screen), there is no way to exit the browser without hacking into a command prompt and then killing the process. It also means that you can't access the midbrowser menu.

Summary:
The button assigned to toggle browser in and out of full screen mode is F11 but MID devices have no F-keys.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Launch browser
2) Open drop down menu and select full screen mode
3) Try to get back to normal mode.

Expected result:
Toggle key is one that appears on MID keyboard.

Actual result:
F11

Thanks for feedback. You could in/out full screen mode from touchscreen, and we had enlarged the button to make it easier exit from full screen mode.

if we have a hildon mechanism to trigger full screen we can bind midbrowser to it. If we just need to listen to a specific X/Key event, we can do that as well. To come up with a solution we need information on how this is supposed to work on mid devices in general.

Aside from the problem of not being able to exit the browser once you are in full screen mode, there are some apps (OurGame in particular) that do not run well unless there is true full screen mode (i.e. no navigation bar either).

Double-tapping is a good event to trigger that mode switch because browsing generally only involves singletaps.
