The fullscreen window is the (main) window containing the PDF. I wonder if you could try some tests. In particular, I'd like to know if it is related with initially showing the fullscreen window, or when the fullscreen window is later moved to another screen. Perhaps you could try:
1. restart Skim 2. move Skim to the secondary screen 3. go fullscreen and try this with different relative vertical alignment of the screens and perhaps different resolutions for the secondary screens. Next do essentially the same but *first* (between 1 and 2) go fullscreen on the primary screen (before moving the normal window to the secondary screen). If the problem only occurs when the screen is moved to the secondary screen we might have to recreate the fullscreen windows every time for the screen it is intended for.
