Comment (by PROTechThor):
This is not a defect, but a feature. It aims to reduce your fingerprint.
The technique is called "letterboxing". You can read more here:
https://support.torproject.org/tbb/maximized-torbrowser-window/.
It's not recommended to disable this feature, as it will decrease your
anonymity. But if it bothers you, then you can go to about:config and set
privacy.resistFingerprinting.letterboxing to false. Not recommended
though!
