Panel's beam in fullscreen.

1- Have the app in fullscreen.
2- Have the panel set to "Dodge Windows"
3- Press the Windows button to open the panel.
4- Close the panel by clicking on it.

Result:
The "blue beam of light" of the hidden panel is still appearing in fullscreen even though the actual panel won't show up.


It might appear in video games of users that tabs out of the game and then goes back into playing, and has the misfortune of engaging with a in-game menu that its close button is close to the panel, making the cursor always show that blue light during gameplay.

Never show autohide/dodge windows panels when a window is fullscreen

Currently, if a edge with a autohide/dodge panel is triggered when a
window is fullscreen, the panel will be shown; but, since it will not
have focus, it will be drawn behind the fullscreen window. To avoid
this, we make sure to never display autohide/dodge panels in this
scenario.
