This started with KDE 4.11. It is a "feature" according to the KDE devs.

They also removed the possibility to have screen borders for full-screen
windows, for which the respond was like: "we did not like how the
feature was implemented, report a bug against the decoration of your
choice to perhaps get it back". They should have worked on implementing
a replacement in all the official decorations before removing the feature.

I think kwin from KDE 4.11 is one big regression that should not have
been shiped as an update for stable Fedora. I hope that it will still be
fixed because all work should go into KDE 5 now and a configuration
option to get back the old behavior would be a new feature.
