Opening file dialogs of an application, automatically exits full screen mode

[senntore]

When an application is in full screen mode and I try to open their file dialogs like New, Open, Save as, Export, etc, it automatically exit from the full screen mode.

I've tested this with Krita, BeeRef, Qview, Haruna.

This isn't unexpected, as new windows are supposed to break fullscreen states.

I would honestly want it to maintain it's state & still allow me to perform these actions as they're related to that full screen application.
Otherwise it would break my workflow, this is especially an issue in auto tile mode as these app can go back to their small window size(if there are multiple applications open), which I don't really want.

Fullscreen is really expected to be exclusive though. Why doesn't maximizing work for your use-case?

Iit's mostly because the full screen mode is distraction free & provide more screen real estate on a small screen like mine, since it hides the panels & window title bars.
It is especially helpful when using Krita for digital painting. And with BeeRef for viewing multiple reference images, when working traditionally on paper(otherwise I resize it to a small window & use it as floating window).

For me, those are the only scenario when I need to use the earlier mentioned file dialogs when working.
