I have noticed that calling repeatedly  "frame-fullscreen"  followed by  "frame-normal"  changes
the size of the frame.  The problem happens when calling "menu-bar-mode" and "tool-bar-mode".

Having only (toggle-frame-fullscreen) keep the frame size intact.

--------

(defun frame-fullscreen ()

  (interactive)

  (toggle-frame-fullscreen) (menu-bar-mode -1) (tool-bar-mode -1))

--------

(defun frame-normal ()

  (interactive)

  (menu-bar-mode 1) (tool-bar-mode 1) (toggle-frame-fullscreen))

If you want that, turn on frame-inhibit-implied resize.  The default
behavior will not change.

Assuming you mean "monitor" by "screen", you can just move the frame
back inside.  But the implicit resizing is more likely to cut off the
echo area than the menu bar, since the origin of the frame wrt the root
window remains unchanged.
