Multi-monitor maximised windows covered by panels

[mr-mop]

Hello,

There is an old thread;

Multiple Monitors and Panels

I have a multiple Monitor setup looks like such (see attached)[monitors] Any panel that is on an edge marked in red covers up any window that gets set to full screen. (see attached) [fullscreen] I have tried multiple settings and multiple WMs (Compiz, and all the Marco ones) and none of them seem to affect it. Basically any time you full screen an application when a panel is on an edge that falls inside the main boundaries it does not understand that is should scale its edge to where that …

Rather than resurrect that one I've created a new one.

I am seeing this issue on Ubuntu MATE 18.04

The thread talks about this being a known issue. No link was given to this known issue, can anyone supply a link please? I'd like to see more details, and perhaps take a look at a fix.

The thread talks about work starting in a 'few weeks' but no update was given. Did work take place to fix this? Can anyone supply a link to said work if it exists please? If it exists for a newer version, I'd like to look at back porting to 18.04

Thanks

MM

Ubuntu MATE 18.04 goes EOL (End Of Life) upcoming April 2021 and users are adviced to upgrade to a new version or perform a clean install. So i wonder if it's worth the time you look at back porting it.

A good point; in that case backporting may be a fruitless exercise.
Would still like to know if there was any resolution that may appear releases post 18.04
