Getting out of full screen mode?

Chrome is a bit odd in that it both does and does not support Lion's full-screen at the same time. I think it's just a coincidence in how it was implemented.
Either way: the menu items are still functional as is the key combo: View -> Exit Full Screen and cmd-shift-F.
Normally when an app supports Lion's full screen, there'd be a button for it on the right side of the menu bar. (Plus the aforementioned menu items.)

As mentioned, Chrome had a fullscreen mode before lion, however it is googles own implementation and therefore it does not act the same as apples fullscreen applications.
Chrome should fix this in their next update.
Those using the beta or dev versions of Chrome, is the problem still existant in those builds?

It's still broken in the 13.0.782.41 beta.
My problem with the fullscreen chrome is that you lose the address bar and tabs which i struggle to live without.
This one will be fixed before long.

Safari is the most compatible browser with Lion GM at the moment and is actually a very nice improvement over the version on SL.
Maybe you should try it out? I was a major Chrome user on SL but have given Safari the green light in Lion and haven't been let down yet.

Also, not having to do keystrokes to get a new tab open. Why is it only when 2 tabs are open, a plus sign appears?
Because it's in the tab bar and you have the tab bar hidden when there's only one tab.
That's true, but it doesn't explain why it's not obvious to the casual user how to get a new tab up. Most users I see, don't even realise that Safari does tabs!
I came here looking for the answer, but then stumbled on the solution by accident.
To get out of full screen mode, hover your cursor at the top of the screen, and the menu bar will appear. To the far right of the menu bar, you will see an icon that will let you get out of the full screen app.
Yes.. and your point is? I posted to repeat what you said, not for your benefit, but just in case others hadn't noticed your post.
