This works for me on my MBPro (2015), OSX 10.12.6 and LO 5361.

If I activate the fullscreen mode of an open Calc document for example
by clicking on green window control button to expand the window, then
move the mouse cursor anywhere to the top of the screen and the window
control buttons appear, including the green one to leave fullscreen
mode. In this mode, the document window isn't truly fullscreen as there
are black borders top and bottom.


If I use Ctrl-Cmd-F to move the document to fullscreen, I still see the
green button of the window control, and the whole window fills all of
the screen. Clicking on the green button should reduces the window back
to its previous size, however, as you have discovered, this doesn't work
properly.

The way to workaround this is to switch contexts, i.e. switch Space
(Ctrl-Left/Right arrow), click on an icon on the Desktop or another
application window (not LO) and then switch back to LO again. You should
now see window controls if you move the mouse up to the top of the screen.

Known bug.

There's no secret - LO doesn't support MacOS fullscreen correctly, and
the internal code that it does use is at best a fudge. There are a
number of bug reports already in the LO bugzilla about it.
