[SOLVED] Mindustry: Disable full screen option

I just installed mindustry from the AUR. In the options menu, I then selected "enable full screen" (or something to that effect), after which the game seems to continue, but only a blank gray screen is displayed. I then removed the game via

paru -Rns mindustry

and reinstalled it, but the setting seems to have carried over. So when I now launch the game, I see nothing but a blank gray screen.

How do I revert to the default settings without selecting them from inside the game? I searched inside /usr/share/java/mindustry/Mindustry.jar but did not find anything that seems to relate to the full screen setting.

Re: [SOLVED] Mindustry: Disable full screen option

Marking this as "solved".

This appears to be an incompatibility between non-EWMH compliant WMs and the way Java applications enforce full screen mode. My solution was to start the game from a Mate session which worked fine; I could then disable the option in the game.
