Thereʼs no issue on macOS: there was a scrollbar off to the right that
I hadn't realised was off-screen.

If Iʼve understood correctly, you want to create a frame that covers
the entire workarea of the chosen monitor. Would it not work to
specify the x,y of the top corner plus (fullscreen . maximized) rather
than specifying the width and height explicitly? That will do the
toolbar/titlebar/scrollbar subtractions for you (I haven't tested this).
