I recently installed Amazon Kindle using Wine 3.0 and PlayOnLinux on my Ubuntu 18.04. Everything works perfectly except for the full screen mode. When I press Fn+f11 I see a smaller windowed mode with everything else disappearing as shown below in the image.

buggy full screen mode in Kindle

I want the app to completely occupy my screen (hiding the dock and top bar) when I click on full-screen mode. Is there a way this can be solved?

  • Many of us may not be familiar with this Windows app. Can you edit your question to include some details like where you get this app from and what you are expecting to happen that does not work right?

After a lot of experimentation, I have found a workaround:

Instead of going in full screen mode from a maximized window,

  1. Unmaximize (yep, that's a word according to Ubuntu) the window first

Window options

  1. Now press Fn+f11 or go to View -> Full Screen and you'll get the full screen window as shown below!

Full Screen Mode

Note: This is just a workaround and does not solve the problem actually. It is still not possible to go into full screen mode from a maximized window of the app. I hope the bug is resolved in future.
