​H​i Guys,

Thanks for all the help, this issue is now fixed.

It was a little strange, but here's the results of all your suggestions and what I did.

* F11 does nothing (first thing I had tried)​
​* ​Deleting the Eric6.ini file and re-starting Eric simple re-created the ini file with the same "fullscreen" issue.
​* Deleting the [Geometry] section had the same effect - it was re-created with the same problem.

The "fix" was to change the "MainMaximized" line in [Geometry] from false to true.  Now, the title bar appears and it re-sizes/un-maximizes/maximizes as expected​.

FYI, this system is Mint 18.1/Mate 1.14 and the screen is 1280x1024.  I have two other systems that never gave any problems (same Eric install version), one on Mint 18.1/Mate 1.14 with a screen of 1920x1080 and a (very) old notebook running Xubuntu 16.04 (xfce) at 1024x600.

Mike
