I am surprised nobody answered. I hope I made myself clear: when you
use View > Full Screen, a small button appears which you can click to
return to normal view. This button you can move around. I moved toward
the top of the screen and it disappeared, and, I think, a bar that
was not there before appeared (that I think it somehow contains the
button which is no invisible and unclickable: it only appears
momentarily on the bar while returning to normal view). Now in the
Writer I can return with Esc. In the Calc I have to use the shortcut
(Ctrl + Shift + J). But I would like to know how I can return to the
original state of affairs, with the Full Screen button...
OK - on the same system as yours (Windows XP, OOo v 3.01):
View> Full Screen produces small button bar with 'Full Screen' as its
only button. Unlike you I cannot make that button disappear by dragging
it.
I can, however, make it disappear if the mouse pointer chances to drift
over the top, right hand arrow on the bar,
What arrow?
over the 'visible buttons' entry and
When I right-click on a bar with icons I see in the drop-down menu
Visible Buttons.
on to 'Full Screen'.
In the drop-down list there is no Full Screen entry.
This is easy to do and has the effect of removing that
burron from the bar. Is that what you have done?
No, that is not what I did. I was moving the Full Screen button around
and when it reached to top it disappeared, and the top bar became wider
to incorporate it into its belly.
If so, then go back over the arrow, over 'visible buttons' and reselect
'Full Screen'. If not, then I've no idea what is going on except that
it doesn't happen for me.

Please explain about the arrow.
When I do View>Full Screen, I get a small window just big enough to
incorporate the 'Full Screen' button. The window has the title, and to its
right is an 'arrow' (a black triangle with its apex at the bottom) clicking
on which produces a drop-down menu.
If I drag the little window up to the top of the (full screen) window, it
docks with a tool bar stretching across the top of the window, and loses its
title. I then have the 'Full Screen' button, two its left five vertical dots
which can be used to drag it off the tool bar, to its right the
'arrow/triangle' that I referred to above.
Clicking on the arrow and selecting 'visible buttons' then 'Full Screen'
makes the Full Screen button disappear, leaving just a square with the
vertical dots to the left and the arrow/triangle to the right. Going across
the arrow and doing 'visible buttons'> 'Full Screen' brings back that
button.
That's how it works on mine (same system and version of OOo as yours). Why
yours should apparently be different I have no idea.

That's how it works with over here _now_ too. But _before_ it the tool
bar had swallowed, you click on nothing, and you would only see it for a
flitting moment when you were resuming normal view.
