Comment (by macca8):

 You’re actually asking for something that is already the default behaviour
 for operating ScummVM in fullscreen, so we need some clarification as to
 how you’re accessing fullscreen.

 ScummVM only operates in two screen modes, either fullscreen mode or
 windowed mode, and apart from the obvious, there are significant
 differences between the two:
 - Fullscreen mode displays only the contents of the window on screen.
 There’s no access to the desktop or any of the window’s controls (for
 example, the R/Y/G buttons) while in this mode.
 - Windowed mode (regardless of window size) gives total access to the
 desktop (including the ScummVM app menu at the top) and the window’s title
 bar & controls, allowing the window as a whole to be moved or resized at
 the user’s discretion.

 There’s only two ways to operate in fullscreen in ScummVM:
 - selecting fullscreen mode, by enabling the Graphics tab’s Fullscreen
 mode option for a consistent change (select Options or Edit Game from the
 Launcher to access), or by using the Alt+Enter (or Alt+Return) shortcut to
 temporarily switch between modes… this is the default method for operating
 in fullscreen.
 - selecting windowed mode, then clicking the green button in the window’s
 title bar to resize the window to fill the screen… this is actually a
 macOS feature that’s supported by ScummVM, and behaves exactly as it would
 for any other app (including ScummVM) that owns the window being clicked.

 What you refer to as fullscreen mode in your description is, I believe,
 actually windowed mode, since the behaviour you describe suggests that
 you’re using the second method. Can you please confirm this?

 Finally, a word of caution here. If you are indeed using the second
 method, click the green button again to reduce the window to its normal
 size before trying the default method, otherwise you may encounter a bug
 that changes the size of your normal window.
