OK - yes I understand, that makes sense.
I couldn't tell, on this system, that the menu was behind the task bar
on fltk-1.1, but thought that it was not.
In the fltk-1.3 case I managed, on several occasions, to get the menu
drawn with the text visibly clipped, indicating that it was extending
behind the task bar...

If we were to make the menu stop at the limit of the "usable" screen
area, rather than allowing it to draw behind the task bar, do you think
that would solve this problem?
It seems to me that it might, and may be easier to do than figuring out
how to get mouse events (or etc) once the mouse is "in" the taskbar?
