Since the upgrade to Plasma 5.12 the latte dock positioned on the top edge (Unity layout) shows on Wayland a small transparent frame in the center of the panel, roughly twice the size of the panel. If fullscreen windows are shown, then they are not positioned directly at the latte dock, they are positioned below the transparent box. Tested with Latte 0.7.3 and latte-git on Arch Linux.

If you change the visibility mode from "Always Visible" to something else, is it removed?
Yes, then this box is removed.
ok... our AlwaysVisible mode needs adjustment in wayland... I will wait for plasma 5.12 to land in manjaro and take a look again... I believe that I will be able to land some fixes for wayland in master version.
Strange, if I change now back to always visible then this box is not shown again. Only if I restart my system and latte is automatically started. Great, thank you very much for the fast feedback!
can you still reproduce this? I tested in wayland and I dont have such issue...
I can reproduce.

I can confirm that latte-git is working now without showing the transparent box. Thanks!
