mupdf is configured doFloat and with isFullScreen --> doFullFloat and smartBorders it does perfectly go fullscreen. When I press 'f' again to return from fullscreen the previously floating mupdf window gets tiled. Same happens for llpp (mupdf based pdf viewer). No doFloat rule for llpp configured.

What might be happening?

I'm using handleEventHook = fullscreenEventHook from XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops as otherwise pressing 'f' in mupdf doesn't make it fullscreen. Unsuccessfully tried fullscreenEventHook from XMonad.Layout.Fullscreen.

These are the normal behaviour from this setup, because the event hook doesn't remember whether the window was tiled before fullscreening. In order to get what you seem to want, you should use the XMonad.Layout.Fullscreen module.

Note that merely using the fullscreenEventHook from that module isn't enough. This hook merely enables the layout modifiers in the module to work. To get the behaviour you want, add the event hook and the manage hook from the module, and add the fullcsreenFull layout modifier to your layout hook. See also the module documentation[1].

I tried to make that works but failed. It seems that both XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops XMonad.Layout.Fullscreen provide the same hooks and that it results in a compile error if I try "eventHook = fullscreenEventHook" `eventHook' is not a (visible) constructor field name handleEventHook might be specific to EwmhDesktops. When I changed the config to not import EwmhDesktops and try to make the suggested config work pressing 'f' to fullscreen in mupdf stopped working. As long as fullscreen'ing works as expected I can remove smartBorders if that helps. It's ok to display a border even with single window workspaces. Thanks for any pointers.
