I think this could be easily resolved by changing the engine. On Macs, the engine should move the menu bar to a location above the actual window, instead of change the size of the window, which is completely unintuitive. Backward compatibility be damned I say. It's like rotating the earth every time I need to make a turn while I am driving!
