That's gnome-terminal's standard behavior anyway, and there's no
officially documented way to change that. There's only a hidden setting
to show the tab bar even when only a single tab is present.

I don't think it would make sense for such hidden setting to apply to
the non-fullscreen state only, and remove the tab bar on fullscreen (but
only if a single tab is present, if more tabs are present then keep
them; plus also keep the menu bar as per the docs).

The doc says "If you have more than one Terminal tab open, the tab bar
will be visible in the fullscreen mode" which is... yeah misleading for
this particular case but mathematically speaking a correct sense.

Anyway, it's a hidden, undocumented feature, and as such, I don't think
it makes sense to talk about the documentation's correctness.

A quite different thing that could perhaps make sense (as a feature
request, not bug) is to always hide the menubar and tab bar in
fullscreen.

Title:
  Tab not hidden in fullscreen mode

Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Gnome-Terminal's help page states that in fullscreen mode the tab bar
  is only displayed when there are more than one tab. I experience that
  the tab bar is displayed no matter how many tabs are open and it's
  thus not possible for me to have a true fullscreen experience.

  I expect the tab bar to be hidden when only one tab is open.

  Ubuntu 17.10
  GNOME-Terminal 3.24.2-0ubuntu4 VTE-Version 0.48.4 +GNUTLS -PCRE2
