Description Sergej Kotliar 2005-12-03 15:40:10 UTC 
There is currently no way of leaving fullscreen view using only a mouse.

If fullscreen can be started using a mouse (View->Fullscreen) then fullscreen
should also be closable with the mouse.
Look at totem on this issue, totem does a fine job with it's fullscreen handling.
Things EOG should have:

[Leave fullscreen] button in the top right corner.
Right-click menu with shortcuts for closing fullscreen, zooming, and browsing
among multiple images.

In any way - forcing a user to search for keyboard shortcuts that may or may not
work is bad behaviour.

Evince show a toolbar if you move the mouse. The same can be applied to eog.

This already implemented in eog-ng branch. Tests are welcome!

eog-ng branch, which has a full rewrite of eog's core, has been merged into trunk as part of 2.19/2.20 development cycle. Therefore this bug is fixed now. Thanks for the report!
