Start11 2.5 bug with hidden taskbar

from Stardock Forums

Hello Startdock forum. I have an issue with top hidden taskbar. Seems like taskbar overlaps with window even when hidden after I use shift+tab to switch app, which gives me headache. I use soft that uses this zone and I really want it to be accessible with hidden taskbar.
I use steam 2.5 version on Windows 11 24H2 26100.2894. This issue also appeared on previous Start11 version.
Any help would be appreciated.

This looks to be working as intended?

Auto hide will unhide if your mouse hits the edge of the screen.  This is how auto hide has always worked, otherwise you couldn't get the bar back using the mouse.

Sorry for the late answer, hope to get any help after the past month. 
The problem is that in this case my mouse doesn't hit the very edge. Taskbar does not unhide when I hover area where it should be, but appears if I click on that zone, and only after I alt tab to any program. Some software use this area, like Zen browser for the search bar or Jetbrains IDEs. Even when I want to click on any title bar buttons (close, minimize) at every Windows app, the problem remains.
I'm not sure if there is any advantages of hidable taskbar if I can't use the space that I win with this feature enabled, so for me It's definitely a bug. Let me know if I get something wrong.
