Fullscreen window adds an unused top bar sometimes

[kimden]

Description

Rarely, the game seems to produce an unused top bar (note the white space on the screenshot) for the fullscreen game window. It appears on the loading screen in that case, and can either go away when the main screen is loaded, or stay. For now I'm not aware of any settings that could reproduce it for me in a stable way.

Settings are also changed because the resolution becomes nontrivial (default fullscreen on this machine is 1920x1080):

I clicked on Apply resolution without changing it, the game crashed (bt is below, probably inherited from another issue as it seems familiar to me see 5240).

It seems to have a similar height as the system top bar on Ubuntu (see below):

However, it's not the same. System top bar displayed above is 32px, while the white stripe is 37px.

To clarify, neither the window top bar nor the system top bar with time is displayed for fullscreen applications by default on Ubuntu.

I suppose it's a bug of SDL itself, or its usage. I happened to report it before (maybe even on github, in which case I completely forgot about it), but nothing more was known after those reports.

Steps to reproduce

Start the game and hope it reproduces. Sometimes goes away after loading screen.

Configuration

STK release version: latest git 8a46f5a. The screenshot is taken in Debug mode + Vulkan, if that helps in any way.

System: Ubuntu 23.10

Additional information

stdout.log:

I don't see any special messages, and don't want to post it because it was done with Vulkan and it's huge. I can try to reproduce later if needed.
