Android Studio 4.1.1 macOS Full Screen Error

I've got a problem after updating Mac to Big Sur 11.0.1.

All interstitial dialog windows, Device Manager, Preferences, SDK options, and etc, are not opened as interstitials/dialogs in fullscreen mode, but as a tab in-app. Then, Android Studio freezes and is not responding.

i.e.: Commit Changes Window

Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks!

I think the ideal place to fix this is in the native code in the app launcher. In AppBundler we recently made this change which sets the tab mode before loading the JVM. It's basically the in-app equivalent of running "defaults write" in the terminal but doesn't require executing a process.

System Preferences > General > set Prefer Tabs to never when opening documents.

Alternatively, run this on Terminal and restart Android Studio:

defaults write com.google.android.studio AppleWindowTabbingMode manual

This works while keeping the tabs active for other apps.

I solved by clicking the  -> System Preferences -> General -> Prefer Tabs and select "never". I have no problem using the latest version of IDEA, it may be that the version of IDEA on which Android Studio is based low.

Go to the Apple Menu, select System Preferences > General. In the Prefer tabs when opening documents option, select "never". Then restart Android Studio.

You can try : System Preferences > General > Prefer Tabs and set #never when opening documents. I hope solved this problem.
