Dalai, think this one is for you?

I think what happened here is. Many times blender will open a file browser in full screen when selecting something such as a texture then returns to the previous ui which is different then from the users choice.

This is prior to the fullscreen changes introduced in 7c25f16f (2.73). In fact the behaviour we have is different when you toggle fullscreen ('SCREEN_OT_screen_full_area') or you run 'SCREEN_OT_back_to_previous'.

To solve the bug as reported, all you need is this patch: P168

That said, this still doesn't solve another issue of having the 'file browser' editor being set to its previous type when you invoke an operator that requires file browser (e.g., with the mouse over the file browser editor press F2 to save the file and press cancel).

This is a bug that always existed in Blender I believe. I won't have the time to look at that any soon.

What needs to happen is that Blender needs to know if the ui changes was made by blender or the user.

So if blender is defining the ui change the fallow this code
if it is defined the user the fallow this code

@dfelinto, why don't we commit your patch, as it fixes the bug here and handle the rest as ToDo? I don't think we need bug reports for behaviours that are missing since ages

@JulianEisel, before proposing to accept the patch it's nice to test it first. It is just broken. Try pressing F1 and then "Back to previous".

And i don't really think it is such a bug, just known behavior, so unless you want to look into a proper solution to the TODO list it should go.
