Look in the bottom right corner. Right there is a tiny little arrow. It's green on the default skin. Hit that and you are back in business.

On the PC you can hit f11 to get out of full screen mode. On the Mac f11 is mapped to something outside of Ableton so it doesn't work. There may be another shortcut, but I don't know it.

oh..one more question.

I've been using ableotn for a while and warpin tracks for dj'ing etc. But for some reason when I right click to bring up warping options on the track, the options are not appearing. It seems that the right click isn't working on track warping section.

Is this something you can advise on?

appreciate your help.

Not a dumb question. That has happened to literally EVERYBODY on here at one time or another.

I couldn't say with the right-click options for warping aren't working. I assume that right-click is working for other things, ie your mouse isn't broken? :D
