Stuck in fullscreen mode

Hi guys,

I stuck in full screen mode, I can not see my scopes anymore. I double clic on the full screen display (usually it goes back in quarter screen view). I right clic on the image the small menu option appear and as soon as I move the cursor it disappear before I can clic on it.
Therefore I can not go back in the quarter view.

To switch the preview image between full- and quarter-screen
I did both of the following:
Control-click or right-click the preview image in the Scopes window, then choose Full Screen from the shortcut menu.

Double-click the image preview in the Scopes window.

I did restart my computer.
And I did check the permissions.

I do not know what else to do.

Thanks in advance.

At first I wondered if you inadvertently got stuck in Dual-Screen mode, but if you're operating single-screen on a laptop, then possibly the cure for you is to right click and HOLD the right button mouse until the cursor is over the quarter-screen dialog text and then release the button. The option doesn't stick around for very long if you simply click-and-release.

Worth a try... its how it was behaving on my test platform.

It work, I feel so stupid that this is the solution.

Thank you very much for helping me out!
Mostly appreciated!

It's still weird that on this project it work this way and on other projects that I have it works the normal way.

Do you think there is anyways to make it work like before.
Because this morning everything was fine until this afternoon.
And I only work on color that's it.
So I can not understand what happen on the way.

I made some test Mr. Owen
and it's seems that when Im in the final image view in the secondary room my computer slow down a bit and I'm stuck with this problem and I have to do your suggestion of holding the right click button. How ever if I select the desaturated preview or matte only, I can double click on the viewer to switch from full screen to quarter mode view and the computer works faster a bit.

Do you have any thoughts on this?

Its rendering full color with the secondary correction, so it is taking more processing. COLOR is completely dependent on the speed of your GPU (and data throughput from storage), so the faster your GPU, the better the response. I see that you are operating this application on a laptop, so you may be at the outer envelope of performance.
