Somehow, Expression Blend has entered full-screen mode (no window chrome), but I can still minimize/maximize/restore/move through the taskbar button. I don't see any menu options for full-screen mode, and the normal keyboard shortcuts don't work (F11, Alt-Enter).

I'm not sure how this happened, but I would sorely love to get my chrome back to make interacting with the window easier.

I've never seen a Full-screen mode in Blend. Maybe you accidentally hit Tab or F4 and did an Auto-hide to all of the panels?

Yeah, I hadn't ever seen it before either. The window chrome is gone, but the panels are there. I just can't resize / move the window with the mouse. The system menu works with the keyboard still, but it is VERY annoying.

A: 

you can press ESC button

in code use:

Application.Current.Host.Content.IsFullScreen = false;

If this were a custom Silverlight app, that would work great. Unfortunately, Expression Blend itself has gone nuts on me :(.

After not even trying to use Blend for my application for a really long time, it turns out it was my own fault to begin with. I had created a custom chrome control that would find its parent Window and remove the frame. I wasn't checking design mode, so whenever my control was instantiated by blend, it would remove all the chrome from the window :).
