Could you post a bug about this ? Chromes are an hell.

I think it's good to hide the statusbar when going fullscreen. On the
longer time I think also toolbar should have a special, smaller, layout.
Ihmo fullscreen should allow to go to the minimal screen aestate layout
in one step.
To make a call we would need to know more about the possible use cases
of it. I and Dave tried to think to it and the vastly major task seem to
be presentations ... (There are also kiosks, but I think that should be
solved in a different way).

HIG says:

"Shows or hides the application's statusbar. This is a checkbox menu
item. Include this item in every application that has a statusbar."
