Maximized windows are bigger than screen after spawning them, with border_width = 0

[afranko]

Problem: With border_width = 0, if I open clients - inc. firefox, code, thunar - that are opened maximized, they are bigger than the screen at the bottom. Then, if I toggle maximization - i.e. unmaximizing the client, then maximizing it again - the client gets fitted into the screen.

I checked this with default rc.lua and default theme, only changing border_width to border_width = 0.

In the meantime this problem did not bother me too much, but today I disabled titlebar for a client that opens maximized by default and it had the proper size.

Therefore, I think the problem is the following: When I open a new client (that is maximized by default), the WM doesn't calcaulate the size of the titlebar into the final size. Any suggestion or workaround for that problem?
