Autohide taskbar causing right click menu to lag

I've had Start11 for a good while now with no issues. Recently I decided to customize it a bit more and turn on autohide as well since own an OLED monitor. Since then I've had the right click menu freeze every time I try to use it. Either I'll wait a minute for it to respond to my click or I hit my Windows key after clicking something to make it go away. 

I tried disabling things one by one to see what was causing it and at first disabling the start menu in Start11 fixed that issue. But as that's the reason I bought it I decided to reset my settings and redo them one by one to see if that would fix it. It worked fine with the start menu enabled with any style, until I tried turning on autohide. Then the right click menu starts freezing again. It seems to be with Start11's implementation because enabling autohide through Windows settings doesn't break it. With both options though I found that it freezes 100% of the time during the autohide animation. (Just tested it with Start11 autohide and no start menu in Start11, also freezes during autohide animation)

So seems like the right click menu waits for the autohide animation to finish before being able to click anything? And for some reason maybe waits indefinitely if both Start11 autohide and a Start11 start menu are enabled at the same time? Because it doesn't because "unresponsive" like when a windows application freezes and lets you end task, it just has the right click menu hang until eventually registers your click, but can still use the Start11 start menu while it's frozen.

Very annoying bug as I always right click my taskbar to open task manager. For the time being I'll just turn off autohide until this is fixed.
