All,
I faced this issue in Cinnamon desktop where a Chromium browser
window opened in full screen could not be reverted back to original
state. One had to close the browser and open again to escape full
screen. Very annoying especially if you are used to viewing sites full
screen often. This issue persisted for a while and was faced by many
others as well.
One user (a generous soul as well ;-) ) could not wait and placed a
200 $ offer for anyone who fixes the issue and it so happened that
developer also came across this issue around some time and fixed it.
He declared hsi intent that incentive wasnt really money and asked him
to donate to project team (Mint). Clem, Mint project lead, ehwould
prefer that developer got the amount and was eventually paid.
Now a commit of one line change earned him 200$. Of course,one needs
to know what to change. :-)
Follow the issue thread here. I happened to report the issue as well.

Two things noting here, user's willingness to pay for good software
and that good work (albeit sometimes) can generate extraordinary
returns. :-)
With the advent of crowd-funding sites like Kickstarter and indiegogo,
developers can raise money to work additional hours and develop good
software. We, as community, should also support such causes, encourage
and promote good work by creating good incentives.
