Dear remote accessors

I got multiple macs:
  • I access them with the built in Screen Sharing app in Mac OS.
  • All have the same screen resolution.
  • I prefer to enable the full screen mode, so I forget the machine is remote & work as it were native.

The only thing that is driving me mad:
Occasionally I move my mouse to the top of the screen. Then the full screen mode gets messed up o_O
  1. The application menu (with the apple icon and the rest) moves a bit down and leaves above a black area.
  2. The scrollbars appear (on the bottom and on the right)
This happens quite often. So, the UX of my remote work just sückz.

Yes, I saw there are some alternative apps, but... Some of them are so pricy with crazy monthly costs. I don't wanna pay for such a thing for the rest of my life. If there's one app doing this right, I'd buy it in a heartbeat for up to 100£$€ (one time costs, no monthly milking)

Or maybe there is even a trick to stop the remote app from messing up, when the mouse goes to the top?
Or maybe a hack to extend the time needed leave the full screen (like 5 seconds instead of 2)?

Thanks! That's what I've been searching for.
Once I go to the full screen in Screens, the shortcuts for moving left or right a space don't work any more. I always have to move the cursor to the top of the screen. Then I can use the shortcuts. But this is pretty cumbersome. Is there a trick?
 
I solved it: Keyboard shortcuts don't work but the Magic Trackpad does (4 fingers wish). Now I can easily switch from space to space.
