Did anyone of you find a workaround to solve this? Maybe reinstalling telegram or deleting some configs?

[Serphentas]

I think I haven't had this problem since a few updates, can't say for sure.

[JoshuaDietz]

As it happend to me for the first time after I killed Telegram via taskmanager I think some config may be corrupted. If I install Telegram on another user profile everything works. Does anyone know where Telegram stores configs on linux so that I can reinstall it from scratch?

[JoshuaDietz]

Okay I resolved it. The solution was to delete the folder where Telegram stores everything. On Debian that's ~/.local/share/TelegramDesktop

[Serphentas]

Wouldn't you lose some local configurations (or other stuff) by doing this ?

I had a similar problem that forced me to delete a file to restore my screen ratio. Deleting that file might fix your problem too, I described what happens here

[Serphentas]

Thanks for the input, I'll try when it happens again.

Yes, you will be logged out and lose everything you configured. Since there are not that many configuration options I took that 2 minutes to log in again and configure everything properly after that. But yes, the solution is not good. But still better than a telegram client which blocks your whole screen ;D

Removing file ~/.local/share/TelegramDesktop/tdata/settings1 while the app closed is also fix the problem without logging out.

I still have this issue on Lubuntu 18.04 and Telegram 1.8.15.
I accidentally entered fullscreen mode and now I am stuck there. First, how do you toggle/untoggle fullscreen normally?which shortcut?

Second in /home/myusername/.local/share there is no file called settings1 :(

I tried /usr/share but there is no telegram folder either.

Where is the telegram folder?
