I go to Settings -> Screen and check "Full screen".

With resolution (Settings -> Screen -> Change Resolution) set to
1920x1080 I get the above symptoms.

With resolution 1440x900 things work better, but GNOME Shell's
Activity thing is still visible at the top of the screen in
full-screen mode.

I just installed 1.9 and it behaves in exactly the same way.
