EAP / Full Screen Mode
When I go to full-screen mode (Ctrl-Alt-F11), the screen goes black, and the system freezes up.
To recover I have to power-cycle my system.
Platform: Ubuntu 10.04
EAP 95.361

Hi Andy,
Have you tried to go to text console and kill RubyMine process in this case? (Ctrl+Alt+(F1-F6))
Best regards,
Oleg
Hello andy,
Actually we've dropped the full screen mode feature from RubyMine 2.5, precisely
because of problems like this one which are very hard to troubleshoot and
fix.

I find it a shame that this feature has been dropped from 2.5. Perhaps a future version will have it. I encountered the exact same "black screen of death". Full screen mode is one of my favorite features in any program.
This is because on linux(unix) system Ctrl+Alt+F[1-12] is assigned to switch to different tty / terminal / whatever you call it.
For example Ctrl+Alt+F[1-6] are assigned to terminal 1-6. so you will see a login prompt in text mode.
if you happen to hit Ctrl+Alt+F11 and see black screen just hit Ctrl+Alt+F7 or Ctrl+Alt+F8, that will switch you back to your graphical display.
So if this is the case, I think all you need to do is change keyboard shortcut for full screen mode. I would love to have this feature added back.
Dmitry, did any of you get to test this with assigning different key shortcut? I think it's just like assigning Ctrl+Alt+Del for fullscreen mode and then complaining that everytime I do full screen my computer restart :)
If that's really the problem then it is really simple to fix unless there is other problem with fullscreen mode.
Yes, of course, this is not a matter of a specific keyboard shortcut.
Any chance that full screen view for the Linux version of RubyMine will be restored?
Currently there are no plans for this. Fullscreen on Linux (in general) is not very stable thing :(
