Running VB 4.3.14 on Jessie here and I can get any resolution I want up 
to my LCD's full screen 1920x1080.  Depending on your resize settings 
the res's available in a "window" will be limited. Do these client 
limits still apply in full screen?

PS: I just noticed I haven't updated the client's tools yet.

FYI
