Some pixels don't capture click and hover events at the edge of the screen

Is this issue a duplicate of the following thread?

https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/tip-to-fix-un-clickable-menu-and-show-desktop-buttons/19928

There the solution was to add the line to the file ~/.profile

export GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=1

Which can be quickly done with following line:

printf "\n# fix for 1 pixel top row not selectable/responding to mouse click\nexport GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=1\n" >> ~/.profile

According to https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-panel/issues/940

Btw. the docs for that variable state: "If set, GDK makes does not use the XInput extension, and only reacts to core X input events", so the bug appears to be XInput-related.
