Steps to reproduce

  1. Set "showTabsFullscreen": true in settings.json.
  2. Press F11 to enter Fullscreen mode.
  3. Click and drag the tab strip/title bar.

Expected Behavior

Standard Windows behavior suggests that dragging a snapped or fullscreen window should trigger a "Restore" event, exiting Fullscreen mode, resizing the window to its previous dimensions, and showing the window controls. (Alternatively: If Fullscreen is intended to be locked, the window should not be draggable at all).

Actual Behavior

  1. The window detaches and follows the mouse (is draggable).
  2. State persists: The app logic remains in "Fullscreen" mode.
  3. UI broken: The window does not resize to its "Restored" dimensions, and the caption buttons remain hidden.
  4. Recovery: Pressing F11 again is required to properly exit this state and restore standard window controls.
