    Adobe, please restore the basic OS Full-Screen functionality. We do not understand why this change was introduced and do not see the benefit. Work Spaces are nice but should not come at the cost of this useful function.

    I use full screen to quickly maneuver between apps. On Mac, a simple three finger lateral swipe moves between open apps, which is super handy. This is valuable functionality.

    It's absolutely ridiculous that almost no Adobe CC apps support fullscreen. This one thing causes me so many little headaches when managing my open applications. I spend a lot of time thinking about switching to Affinity products, and this is the #1 reason why.

    Fullscreen works properly with XD, so someone at Adobe knows how to code it.

    Placing the window on a new desktop is not a solution. For one, it means the Adobe apps are incompatible with split-screen window management. Makes them particularly useless if you have a panoramic monitor.

    Seriously, drives me crazy that I can full screen my code editor, the software my team uses for sharing and talking about mockups, Chrome where I look at what I'm developing, AND Spotify to listen to, but not any Adobe CC apps.

    Catch up Adobe.

    @Anonymous I know what you mean and I already do it that way, but it's not the same thing.

    I found that if I place the window on a new desktop it works perfectly.

    It's the same with Photoshop and InDesign, and I find it a real nuisance.

    Like 3 years later I find myself googling this to see what's going on. Adobe it's 2018. Fullscreen mode was introduced over 8 years ago. I (and I'm sure many others) use it for nearly every app and struggle juggling the organization of all of your apps with my workflow. Hitting F doesn't give me a dedicated workspace in the application switcher. This is crucial.

    Totally agree!!
