    Same issue with full-screen video. However, it is also happening to me if I work in a Word Document, for example. It seems to happen at random.

    I don't think this problem will be fixed until Apple releases a patch or something.

    I posted a similar question earlier today. (view discussion) Seems it has to do with switching between desktops or full screen apps (any and all combos thereof). Doesn't matter what app apparently.

     

    I disabled my gestures for swiping to other desktops/FSApps so i don't accidentally forget. I am not running any FSApps, and now use only one desktop. Can still use exposé for apps or single app. This solved the random logging out problem... but oy, what a pain.

     

    Apple please fix soon!!

    I am having the same issue! Does it sound like the same symptoms as me? https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7679712

    I also have this problem and have been working with Apple support to try to resolve it. For me it happens whenever:

    • I try to take an app to full-screen mode
    • I try to animate between Desktop Spaces using the mouse (two-finger swipe), trackpad, keyboard commands, or anything else that causes the Desktop Space to switch.
    • I watch a video in full-screen mode

     

    I think the unifying thing here is the automatic switching to a different Desktop Space, including for full-screen. Interestingly, if I navigate Desktop Spaces manually, usuing Mission Control, I'm successful in switching.

     

    Of note, this is only affecting my account. I created a "test" account and everything works fine. Apple thinks it's something that's loading during my unique login and we're working on isolating the problem.

     

    If (when) I get a resolution from Apple, I will post here. BTW, you may want to create a "test" account and try going to full-screen mode with an app, and navigating spaces. If it works, you've isolated the problem to some idiosyncracy in your account.

     

    I posted a similar response on this thread---sierra full screen bug---which appears to describe a similar problem.

     

    BTW, I've already performed the reset SMC, NVRAM, and PRAM, as well as numerous other "system" fixes, without result. If I get a solution from Apple (we're supposed to talk again on Monday), I will post it.
