I have Mavericks with Xcode 5.02 on a 17" 2.5 GHz intel core 2 duo. With Xcode open with a project, I clicked on the window size icons in the upper right corner of the window. I got a full screen that can't be moved, and I can't get to the corner of the window to change its size.
How do I reverse this?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9), FCP 7, Xcode 5.02
Clicking the arrows in the top-right corner of an app window makes the window full screen. You cannot move or resize full screen windows. If you want to move or resize the window, return to standard view first.

The arrows are not accesible in my full screen view. In the pper right corner of the screen, there are the six icons for selecting different parts of the window, but no arrows.
Placing the cursor in the upper right corner of the screen and holding it there for a second will bring up this:
Click on the blue double arrow icon.
When you are in full screen mode the application is put into it's own space. So to access your other application windows you would just switch to the spaces there are in.
To get out of Full Screen mode if you can''t get to the arrows hit the ESC key or control-command-F or go to View->Exit Full Screen
Xcode 5.02 on Mavericks window size
