Sounds like the graphicscard can't deal with the resolution you are trying to run.
System specifications please..

I also have problems with my mouse when unwillingly put in windowed mode, to have it back I have a recipe :
- stay in windowed mode
- make OA window active with alt+tab if necessary
- show the console (with ~ key)
- click outside OA to have focus on a window different than the OA one
- click back in OA to make it active
- switch to fullscreen with ALT+Enter
- stir for 5 minutes over a gentle fire
It's ready !

Not sure it will help you, though.

Really, man, it's just bringing on the console, clicking somewhere, and switch back to fullscreen, I can't think of a simpler solution.
And in fact, if you have the problem I think you have, do not wait for it to be corrected soon, it has to do with the engine.

Try to figure out why your OA is minimized, maybe your Desktop Environement receives an event, and if you use Compiz or any 3D desktop, try to disable it.

This fix would work for me if I could even ALT+Tab to the window, but I can't.

In some cases the AltGr + ~ + space or AltGr + ^ + space do the trick.
