Why do colors look washed out in Photoshop CS5 full screen mode?

In Photoshop CS5, my images look normal at first, but when I switch to full screen mode the colors become muted and washed out. After that, even normal view stays washed out until I save, close, and reopen the file. I'm using an EIZO ColorEdge monitor and recalibrating the display did not help. What could cause this, and how can I fix it?

There has been some posted issues on this problem for CS5 at this link: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/colour_glitches_when_switching_to_fullscreen_mode_in_photoshop
An easy test is to turn off OpenGL Drawing in Preferences and see if the problem goes away. Hope this helps.

This is likely a Photoshop CS5 display bug related to GPU/OpenGL drawing rather than a monitor calibration problem. A simple test is to disable OpenGL Drawing in Photoshop’s Preferences and see whether the color shift stops when entering full screen mode. If turning off OpenGL fixes it, the issue is probably tied to Photoshop’s screen rendering in that mode, not the actual image data.
