You could try 'the windowBoundingRect' instead of 'the screenRect' - this should leave room for the dock at least. If that gives you the same outcome as clicking the 'maximize' button, then there's probably something strange with the content of 'the windowBoundingRect' itself.
It is a read-write global property, set by the LiveCode IDE to leave room for its menubar and tools stack.
