SUMMARY I have a dock along my top screen edge which is set to work as an on demand sidebar. For some time now (roughly a month? hard to say) there has been a single pixel edge that remains in place even when the bar is collapsed (usually invisible but can be seen in certain fullscreen applications). This leads to me often clicking on tasks and applets when aiming for browser tabs, causing windows to change focus and applets to pop up. I can't seem to attribute this to any settings having gone through them all so am assuming this is a bug. I've created a fresh new layout to test with and it does this on any screen edge. I can attach an export of my layout if that helps, but as I said this is still an issue with brand new layouts so I'm not sure that would help at all. Let me know if you need any more information. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create new layout with a dock 2. Set dock to be an on demand sidebar 3. Collapse it and click along the screen edge where it's hidden OBSERVED RESULT Behaves as if I clicked the appropriately positioned task/applet when the dock is showing. EXPECTED RESULT Would expect nothing to happen.

Have you upgraded to 0.9.91 version and this is still reproducable?
(In reply to Michail Vourlakos from comment #1) > Have you upgraded to 0.9.91 version and this is still reproducable? Yes, I'm on 0.9.91 and have re-tested with creating new layouts/docks just now and still hit this issue.
Send the layout in question and a screenshot to understand the issue

Sorry, didn't realise attachments would post straight away rather than with this comment (which keeps taking longer and longer as I discover more details of the bug and have to rewrite parts). Yes, that's with the compositor switched off. I did it purely to make the issue visible as I realised that's why I'd been able to physically see it sometimes before, but I've found this does actually seem to affect the issue. If the compositor is off, the issue is always fully present. Obviously the screenshot is just a white line on a black screen, I can look to do a screen recording of clicking on it if you need me to. I played around a bit when getting a screenshot and discovered the issue can be slightly affected by the dock background being on, its size, and if background shadows are on or off. I've tried to sum this up clearly below. Background On BG Size 10% BG Shadows On ISSUE PRESENT Background On BG Size 10% BG Shadows Off ISSUE PRESENT Background On BG Size 100% BG Shadows On PARTIAL ISSUE Background On BG Size 100% BG Shadows Off ISSUE PRESENT Background Off BG Size N/A BG Shadows N/A ISSUE PRESENT ISSUE PRESENT means I was able to interact with objects on the dock by left-clicking the screen edge, could drag items, and if I right-clicked I would get the task/applet/latte context menu. When PARTIAL ISSUE, left-clicking did nothing latte-related, but would not "click through" to any windows behind it, and I would still get the basic latte context menu when right-clicking (this seems to happen regardless of settings). This all applies to both my normal custom layout, and a new one created as New>Default. This was all with the dock on the top edge of the screen, I still came across the issue with it on the bottom edge (where it appears by default when created), but it didn't seem to follow the same pattern (ISSUE PRESENT was less frequent I think) and I haven't had the time to test it thoroughly. As mentioned, having to compositor switched off seems to cause the issue to be fully present regardless of background settings. Overall it seems like a pixel or two of the dock spills over onto the screen when collapsed and the settings I've been playing with change if it's just far enough to click the edge of the task icon/applet or just a sliver of empty dock. I hope this helps narrow it down a bit, happy to test a bit more when I've got the time if you can't reproduce it. I will attach my usual layout (main), and the one I created just now to test (Default-Test).

I think I found the fault. Please update to latest master version, I think I have just fixed it and report back if this is still valid. thank u
