Comment (by macca8):

 I can understand your confusion, but there's actually nothing wrong here.
 While it may not be immediately obvious, the behaviour is totally
 predictable, so I'll try to explain.

 Your expectation is that when using the Alt-Enter hotkey it interacts with
 the Fullscreen mode option. In fact, this is NOT the case.

 While each function can change the screen mode, each performs a different
 role in controlling the screen mode. As such, each operates independently
 of the other, maintaining their own unique values.

 The Fullscreen mode option is responsible for setting default values for
 screen mode operation in the Launcher & game environments. These values
 are persistent and can only be changed directly by the user.

 The hotkey allows screen modes to be changed on the fly, ignoring the
 underlying default. This change is temporary, and generally only lasts
 until the user switches to another environment, but there are exceptions.

 Please check my comment at
 https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/1415#issuecomment-443138388 for a
 more detailed analysis of the current behaviour.

 Since this is simply a misunderstanding of the relationship between the
 Alt-Enter hotkey and the Fullscreen mode option, and each function is
 operating correctly, I believe this issue can be closed.
