Not staying in full control mode - bug
When I turn on full control, the game should stay in full control until I tell it to stop. I've lost several games because I needed to do an action during my upkeep, turned on full control during my opponent's turn, and it turned off immediately when my turn began. What is the point is full control if I do not actually have full control over actions when priority passes?

Twice I directly lost a game because of unintentionally exiting full control mode. Which is especially frustrating because it was both in expensive sealed events.
I had in play Obsessive Pursuit and Azula on the Hunt/Koh, the Face Stealer having Azula on the Hunt's abilities.
My intent was to attack, let the firebending and clue creation triggers of Azula resolve, but then use these additional resources with the Obsessive Pursuit trigger still on the stack to sacrifice more clues. This way I would have been able to push the X to 3 or more, gaining lifelink for a significant and sorely needed amount of life gained.
I entered full control mode by pressing Ctrl. Then I declared my attacker. Full control was automatically exited and all attack triggers resolved immediately.
This left me with my best creature tapped (unable to block) and without the planned significant lifegain dead on board to the opponent's counterattack.
