CherryTree blocking auto-hide Taskbar

[Shutey56]

My system:
Dell XPS17 i9 13th Gen / 64Gb RAM / RTX4060 running Windows 11 Pro updated 1 Dec 2025. Cherry Tree v1.6.2

Bug:
On Windows 11 (taskbar auto-hide enabled), CherryTree 1.6.2 reports its maximised window bounds as the full monitor area rather than the Windows work area. This causes DWM to treat the window as a borderless-fullscreen surface, so the taskbar rises behind the window instead of in front of it.

How to reproduce:
Maximise CherryTree on Windows 11 with the taskbar set to auto-hide.
Attempt to trigger the taskbar by moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen.
The taskbar activates but remains behind the CherryTree window.
Reduce the window size by about 15px on any edge and the taskbar appears normally.

Expected:
Maximised windows should use the work area (excluding the auto-hide taskbar region) so the taskbar can appear above the window.

I am also using auto hide of taskbar in Win 11 and cherrytree v1.6.2 fullscreen but I'm not able to reproduce the issue you report.
Sometimes instead with other apps such as firefox or meld the taskbar does not appear at all when I move the mouse down and it does only when I press the Windows button (which also opens the windows menu), I wonder if it is the same type of issue, can you try to type yourself the Windows key in that case, does the taskbar appear correctly?

Yes, hitting the windows key has been my work round as well and like you I get the Windows Menu and the taskbar. To have to do this is more that a bit annoying, enough to make me not want to use CherryTree unless I have to and when I do I avoid using it maximised but instead leave the CherryTree window 15px above the bottom edge of the screen. I to have also noticed this issue on one or two older software applications such as NameWiz.
