    Restrict Full Screen Mode With Menu Bar to a single document

      Hi,

       

      Is there a way to set and lock a default way of opening documents in Photoshop - Say in Standard Screen Mode - that won't be overridden by setting one document in a different mode??

       

      I'm having a problem in CS5 where I need to use one document in Full Screen With Menu Bar mode on a second monitor, but get subsequently opened documents to come up in floating windows. CS5's behaviour seems to be to open subsequent documents in whatever mode the last document selected is using, even to the extent that opening a new view of the current document when in Full Screen (With Menu Bar) mode, will obscure the previous view - which is somewhat silly.

       

      In interface preferences I have everything unticked in Panels & Documents.

       

      Is there a combination of settings I'm missing? Or is this the way it's supposed to work? It seems the view mode switch, even when hitting "F" is hard coded to be application-wide, rather than document-specific. For example, changing the view mode for the second full screen document also takes the first document out of full screen mode.

       

      This wasn't the behaviour under CS4.

       

      Thanks.
