The key-press is waking-up the DR so it continues with its activities, which was pre-fetching/rendering the next page(s). It seems that when not in fullscreen the page can be rendered before idle-mode starts, and in full-screen mode not. If this helps then increasing the timeout for the idl-mode should also help with this problem. The timeout currently is 5s, but it is fixed in code.
What I find strange is that the pre-fetcher does not prevent the idle-mode from starting, there is a possibility to prevent this using a system-call. There could also be a bug in UDS, which only shows up when entering full-screen mode.
It is also strange that it is reproducable with a lot of documents. If it is really a matter of longer rendering time, I would expect it to go wrong only when rendering takes about 5s. Unless redering for full-screen takes a considerable extra amount of time. (Maybe, due to a bug, the page is first rendered to the non-fullscreen resolution and after that also to the full-screen resolution?)
