Export+Import of settings causes permanent fullscreen

[LordJZ]

After doing a series of settings backups and then restores News+ goes into permanent fullscreen mode, hiding the status bar. On article view it also hides the top bar. Reproduced on latest playstore News+ android 4.4.2 and 5.0. Resetting to defaults helps, but that's not an acceptable solution.

So it looks like there's a hidden fullscreen option:

<boolean name="fullscreen" value="true" />

It gets auto-set for some reason and there's no UI switch for it. Only way to change it is decode the pref file, change the value, encode again and restore.

You can hold the action bar (right on top of the label) to switch it on and off in the list view. Or you can hit the full screen on/off button in the zoom controls shown in article view (if you have that turned on). See this issue for more info: link

Good to know, but that's terrible user experience.
