Entering fullscreen with F11 does not trigger onchange #26

STR:

open http://sindresorhus.com/screenfull.js/
press F11. (Goes fullscreen)

Expected behavior: "Is fullscreen: true".

Actual behavior: "Is fullscreen: false".

This is the case in latest Chrome and Firefox.

Are my expectations wrong? Is the fullscreen mode that's entered using F11 different from the fullscreen mode that can be triggered using the JS API? And if so, how do I detect entering/leaving the browser's fullscreen mode?

It's different and you can't. By design by the browser vendors.
