That's most likely a bug

I agree Ctrl+Alt+Enter is not the best, but we have limitations due to the
fact that xfreerdp depends on X11 only. Adding a connection bar with pure
X11 is not trivial, we'd need to use something else like Gtk+ or Qt.
Since you're managing a lot of servers, maybe that adding the server name to
the title of the window would help? Would there be a possible improvement
using keyboard shortcuts instead of the title bar? I'll have to check but I
think current window decorations aren't brought back when going out of the
fullscreen mode, that's something to fix.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
