I’ve been discovering lately that, when in a full screen window, you can’t open a new window for some reason - or at least not through the basic getURL means.

Does anyone know a way around this? I have to admit I’d be surprised seeing as not many people work with full screen windows, but it’d still be good to know.

Could you explain how you get the fullscreen?  
And what you use to open the new window?  
You sure it’s not just hidding behind?..guess you checked… 😉
