chat disconnecting when fullscreen
As of a few days ago, every. single. time. one enters fullscreen on any stream, the chat will stop loading messages and disconnect until you exit fullscreen. There is no way to catch up on what was said in chat, ruining the whole experience.
If this was an intended change, please revert it asap.

Is this issue still occurring for you? If so, on what device or browser? Please make sure you are running the most up-to-date version of your browser/device OS, as well. Thanks. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Experiencing chat disconnections when switching to fullscreen mode can be frustrating, especially during important conversations or online meetings. This issue often arises due to browser incompatibilities, system resource limitations, or unstable internet connections. For instance, fullscreen mode might trigger hardware acceleration or alter browser behavior, disrupting ongoing chat processes here https://br.namecombinertool.com/. To resolve this, ensure your browser and operating system are updated, clear cache and cookies, and check your internet stability.

If your chat disconnects when going fullscreen, it could be due to browser permissions, network interruptions, or an issue with the platform's responsive design. Fullscreen mode may block certain background processes or cause the page to reload, leading to disconnection. To fix this, try clearing your browser cache, updating your browser, or checking for any site permissions related to fullscreen usage. For a seamless experience, websites like Dr. Gina Sam (https://drginasam.net/) ensure their platforms are optimized for fullscreen viewing, providing users with uninterrupted access to essential information and services.

Do you still need more info or what's the status on this?

I've now spent another hour debugging this mess. Tested across 3 browsers, all 3 show the same behaviour.
As soon as I enter fullscreen, the IRC WS will send a PART message for this channel, upon exiting the fullscreen mode, a new JOIN message will be sent.
The PART message does not get sent when the person using twitch is not signed in. In the current production files, you can put a debug marker at https://static.twitchcdn.net/assets/vendor-d9396b5f165286517242.js Line 30762 and then enter fullscreen mode. If you are signed in, the debugger will hold execution there, basically confirming that chat disconnects when in fullscreen.
Oh, and to be very clear, there is a key listener for the F key that triggers this as well as the button for fullscreen, both somehow feel the need to PART from the chat
