When we press the full screen button it looks like the picture posted in the first post of this thread. The tabs which were in the top right of the screen on the default smartdashboard are then gone. The camera area continues to function.
The top screen continues to look like this even after it has been taken out of full screen. To fix it, we exit and restart the driver station. Of we switch to another mode (e.g. java, labview..) then back again. Probably the same effect as exit/restart.
