Description miguel1117 2023-06-21 20:01:23 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Happens only sometimes when I start my computer, I haven't noticed any pattern as to what causes it to happen or not. Fixed by restarting the computer or messing around with the display settings, like moving the relative position of monitors. 

OBSERVED RESULT
I have 2 monitors, and I have a floating panel as my taskbar on monitor 1. The floating panel only de-floats when a window is maximized on monitor 2, and does not de-float when a window on monitor 1 touches the panel or is maximized.

EXPECTED RESULT
The floating panel should de-float when a window touches it.

Should be fixed in 6.0 but the fix is not very backportable.
