[OSM-newbies] Help! JOSM has taken over my computer screen

Does alt+space bring up the main window's control menu? Then you can
restore (un-maximise) or minimize JOSM.  I would also be surprised if
alt+tab no longer works for switching windows.

If you want to find the full-screen feature that's causing the problem and
turn it off, I'd look in the menu, which should be accessible just by
tapping alt if it's not already visible.  Open-source apps often fail to
put every function in the menu, but JOSM seems not too bad about that.
