Big Sur - now my Safari won't open in full screen

Did the Big Sur update on my 2015 MacBookAir. Now can't open Safari in full screen. Any pages in Safari. Cannot anywhere find how to change this in Safari's settings.


I'm finding this rather annoying. Can anyone help? Seems it was a problem with Lion but the fixes there don't work here, I've tried them already.
