Can't revert from maximised call to floating window once "Back" button is clicked #35593

Closed

Description

@therealstrizzi

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Element Desktop app on Arch Linux
  2. Join a room
  3. Start or join a call
  4. Click on the "< Back" button in the floating call window
  5. The call window maximises inside the room

Outcome

What did you expect?

I expected a way to revert to a floating call window, as the maximised call window takes up the entire Room interface. Chat can only be opened as a seperate panel next to the call panel instead of having a floating call window on top of it.

What happened instead?

There is no way to exit a maximised call window.

Operating system

CachyOS 7.3.0

Application version

1.12.25

How did you install the app?

Via "yay" - cachyos extra repo

Homeserver

Will you send logs?

    closing: turns out the camera icon is used as a "minimise" and "maximise" button.
