If I do this, there is a gap below the emacs frame.
Invoking M-x menu-bar-mode resizes the frame to actual maximised state
without the gap and the redrawing works. However, the very bottom part
of the frame (that's where by title bar is located) is not being
redrawn. It's like all the frame canvas before resizing is shifted up as
much as the height of the menu-bar was without redrawing whatever was
below that size (see the attached).

When I remove the call, there is still no redrawing. Moreover, without
maximising the frame, when emacs frame is a single frame in a tile
layout, the frame occupies all the space as if frame-resize-pixelwise
was nil and M-x menu-bar-mode results in no redrawing.
