BTW, I'm on OSX 10.7.4
fn+F11 doesn't work.
Nor cmd+opt+F, nor anything
I shutdown the program and when startsup again, all menues go back to normal mode but it still is in fullscreen mode, hiding apple menu and dock, making them unaccessible even if I hover over the bottom or top of the screen.

The only solution was to close program, open a terminal and run:
rm -R ~/Library/Caches/Pencil/
rm -R ~/Library/Application\ Support/Pencil/

After that, program comes back to normal life.

Hi,

That issue was already fixed in the trunk. The shortcut was changed and ESC was added also as the way to quit the mode.
Please wait for the next Mac build to update your system.

I'm using OS X 10.8.2 and I can't get out of full screen mode.

Any tips? I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to running things through terminal....

any help is much appreciated!

I on on OS X 10.8.1 and downloaded Pencil 2.0.3

Solution given by Alejandro works for me. Esc did not do the trick.

The only solution was to close program, open a terminal and run:
rm -R ~/Library/Caches/Pencil/
rm -R ~/Library/Application\ Support/Pencil/

Restarted Pencil and menu on top was back!

Pencil-2.0.3-1-mac doesn't work for me. I still cannot get out from full screen mode though using ESC key.
I am running 10.6.8.

How about a Windows 7 build?  I'm having the same issue with the build I just downloaded, but ESC is not exiting the mode.

Love the tool otherwise!  Thanks!

On Win 7 press F11 to enter fullscreen mode, press it again to exit.

The main  menu should appear on hover - select the last option in the drop down "Exit Full Screen"
