Fix Spotify stuck in full screen (Ubuntu) installed from snap
Problem:
I experienced Spotify being stuck in full screen mode.
The title bar with minimize, maximize and close wasn't present and no keyboard shortcut I know about would exit full screen.
Solution
rm ~/snap/spotify/current/.config/spotify/prefs
Works both in 18.04.01 and 20.04.x

(Even though this didn't fix the problem for the author, it worked for me)

Fished around and found the apt package equivalent (Performed in Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS) is

rm ~/.config/spotify/prefs

You may experience a crash or two as I did, this is just Spotify re-generating the prefs file, it should self-correct. Thanks for pointing out that prefs file!
