What

Accepting the "Try the new fullscreen renderer?" prompt now queues the switch instead of restarting immediately, shows a "Restarting into the fullscreen renderer…" notice, and backs out if the session picked up new work in the meantime, telling you it is keeping the current renderer.

Details
  • The queued action yields to open panels rather than interrupting them.
  • Applies to everyone shown the upsell dialog.
Evidence

Keeping the current renderer — the session picked up work a restart would drop.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
