Using the webkit's full screen API everything goes well till the user presses F11. We don't get any full screen event pressing F11. Therefore we don't detect if we are in full screen mode, and cannot exit from full screen mode. Furthermore pressing F11 and sending document.body.webkitRequestFullScreen(); will kill all further full screen operation. See attached example.

Hoe is the F11 key related to full screen? On my machine, F11 activates Expose - is this what this bug is about?

If think there are potentially two different concepts one is full screen of the browser window (depending on the system it can be F11 or Ctrl+Cmd+F) and full screen of the web content (web page, video, iframe etc). Does the spec say anything about how these two concepts are related?

Just tried again... Ctrl+Cmd+F puts the browser window in full screen, pressing "Enter fullscreen" button animates the page to put it in full screen, pressing Ctrl+Cmd+F makes both the window and page exits the fullscreen mode. If only pressing "Exit fullscreen" instead, we only exit the page fullscreen mode ; and pressing Ctrl+Cmd+F makes the window exits the fullscreen mode. If instead start pressing "Enter fullscreen", and then press Ctrl+Cmd+F, we exit the page full screen mode and don't put the window in full screen mode either. So I'm not sure I understand the bug report, but nothing looks shocking to me. I'm closing this as worksforme but feel free to reopen.
