I'm running Debian 12 plasma KDE Wayland.
Normally when I open a VM I have a window with menu items and icons to start up the VM. Once I start the VM I have an icon on the far right that allows me to make the VM's console full screen. I also have a way to mouse to the middle of the top margin and 2 icons pop up so I can exit full screen mode or send a combination key sequence.
Normally this works regardless of what OS is running in the VM.
However, today I created a VM of Fedora 40 and something happened so that when I open the virtual console for Fedora 40 it goes full screen except for the Debian Task Manager panel at the bottom. It still shows as normal. On the full screen window I also do not have the controls to exit full screen. This happened after I run a video program that also can go full screen, but only if the VM virtual console is full screen.
Any idea on how I can reset the Virtual console for this VM back to normal?

Re: virtual console on KVM libvirt lost panel and menu
More data. I have 2 workarounds.
1. clone the fedora VM. I chose to create a new drive and not use the existing one. When I started the clone it worked a normal.
2. I deleted the VM without deleting it's storage and then created a new VM importing an existing storage image and that also worked.
Not sure how to fix the original problem though.
