I’m surprised no one else is reporting this. I am also getting trapped in full screen mode with no way to go back into windowed mode or minimize.

Not sure how else to describe it… there’s normally 3 buttons: Red - close window Yellow - minimize Green - full screen / windowed Yellow and green are always disabled. I’ve tried unplugging all monitors, closing and reopening Cursor, etc. Once I go full screen, I cannot escape without closing and reopening the app. Anyone else experiencing this? MacOS Ventura M1
