System Information
Windows 7 64 bit

Blender Version
Broken: 2.74 , blender-2.75-6ed1a1a-win64

Short description of error
I opened a previously saved file that had a temp-full screen layout auto generated i guess, don't know how.

A problem is the temp-full layout can be deleted only if i change completely it's name; if i try to delete with original name will freeze the ui and the issue written down persist.

Another problem is that after a couple of screen layout changes wich ctrl+ l/r arrows the screen will get "stuck" to full screen. So i have to press ctrl+ up/down arrow to bring down the full screen mode.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open attached file
screen layout bug.blend
try to change screen layout
after some ctrl+ left/right arrow the user interface will not respond well, same as trying to delete the temp-full layout.

Apologies if there is some mistake from my part.

I loaded the file without Load UI option.
The layout was replaced normally.
The message of the problem was recorded only once right after I loaded a file.

I investigated this a couple of days ago and I highly doubt this has anything to do with the temp fullscreen, I think the issue here is the "Error, region type 2 missing in - name:"File", id:5". Need to have another look though.

Was anyone able to get blender into a state that saves this buggy temp screen?

While we could probably make the file in the report not give problems, it would still be good to know how it was made.

Otherwise its possible this is just a corrupt file, which we can't support.

for reference:

Looks like what happens is users open a user-prefs or render window (temp screen).
And then start using it as a regular window (split it, change space types... etc).

The problem is that temp windows have the restriction that you can't switch to other windows (Ctrl+Arrow keys).
However it was possible, by changing to an Info space, then using the ID-browser to select a different screen.

This is now disabled, so deleting, id-browsing & arrow keys can't activate a temp screen anymore.
