Every time I open Evernote, it defaults to full-screen mode, on my 2019 MacBook Pro using Mac OS Big Sur using 10.19.2-mac-ddl-public (2852) Editor: v129.0.16448 Service: v1.38.1 .

The only way to exit full-screen is to click the green radio button to exit full-screen. I can't seem to find any function or "power key" combinations that will exit full-screen, without using my trackpad to click the green radio button and exit full-screen. 

This situation is exacerbated by the fact that even once I exit full-screen, opening new/old notes reverts to full-screen, requiring me to again click the green radio button.

While for some, defaulting to full-screen might be a good thing, for those using more than one monitor (like me) this is a total pain-in-the-neck and significantly reduces my productivity.

It's nice having the ability to enter full-screen mode, but I'm not likely to ever use full-screen for Evernote. Possibly, there could be a preference check-box to turn-off this "feature"? Better yet, default to a normal screen and allow users who require full-screen to allow them to turn it on themselves.

Thank you!!

I agree with nearly every one else here that it was a dumb idea to remove "Learn Spelling" in the new Evernote. I'm just thinking, "What the heck?! Really?!" Removing the ability to "Learn spelling" and still include the annoying little red dots indicating that a word is misspelled, has to be a violation of fundamental programming 101. 

Fortunately, there is a pretty simple way to "Learn spelling," at least on a Mac. I'm using macOS Big Sur and opening the Dictionary App (in the Applications folder) will allow me to type in the affected word and then in that very field where I type the word, I can right-click select, "Learn Spelling." You have to make sure the entire word is selected, not just click inside the word or else you won't see the "Learn Spelling" selection. Once this is done, it takes a few seconds for the red dots to disappear, but disappear they will.

You can also use a more round-about way, using more clicks and contextual menus to get this done in TextEdit or Microsoft Word, but the Dictionary app looks to me to be the quickest way to get it done, until the Evernote folks get their heads on straight!

Regardless of this annoyance, I still love Evernote. I've been using it extensively for years and have pretty much enjoyed it the whole time.
