| 1 | | That's not very intuitive, I'm afraid, and not how I think most users expect a computer programs to behave. To work your way, the names of a lot of settings would have to change. At a minimum, the Fullscreen option should be renamed to "Start in fullscreen" or similar. |

| | 3 | I think that what you describe is roughly analogue to the behaviour of command+F in VLC, which only affects the currently playing video, but there at least the actual user interface is never fullscreen, and the "permanent" fullscreen setting is named "Start in fullscreen" and does not change to mode of the video that is currently playing. Still, I find it annoying there as well. |

| | 5 | If Alt+Enter is temporary, this should be clearly explained in descriptions and documentation, and the other fullscreen options should be named differently ("Always start in fullscreen"), to underline the difference. |
