opening new clip in FS mode will cause player area locked in upper left corner

opening a new clip in fullscreen mode will cause the player to lock in upper left area and no way to get out of it (even with F11, this only worked on the first sample played). it will also not show a title bar.
similar upper left lock behavior is mentioned in this ticket though it only mentions it in relation to the max screensize.
