I disagree that it makes sense: fullscreen should mean fullscreen.  As the 
documentation says "When a stack is full screen, all decorations are removed".

Of course one can hide the menubar, and set the rect of the stack to either 
fit the content area to the screen, or content area plus titlebar to the 
screen; so 'the fullscreen' is just a convenience.  But I think it should do 
what it says!

Since sending my despairing email, I've found what I think is the cause: 
having the dock shown or not.  When a stack goes fullscreen, it hides the 
dock; but under some circumstances it then messes up the calculations.

On my development machine, I have two monitors; the dock is permanently on, 
but on the secondary monitor. On our working account of the test machine, we 
had the dock set to autohide. In both cases, fullscreen works fine. But all 
new accounts are initialised with the dock permanently visible; and when Rev 
sets an already open stack fullscreen on a monitor that has the dock visible, 
it correctly hides the dock - but messes up its calculations (even if the dock 
was at the side rather than the bottom of the screen) and leaves the title bar 
of the window visible.  In my app there are two stacks which are set 
fullscreen; one of them is set fullscreen before it is opened, and when it is 
opened, it's fine too.  So in all cases the dock is hidden; but if the stack 
was opened before it went fullscreen, on a monitor that also has the dock 
visible, then we get the problem.

I've entered this in QC as #7373.
