--- Comment #6 from Matt Scott <[email protected]> ---
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).
