Screen edges do not register mouse clicks after using this script #11

Hi, I have a weird problem that I am convinced is related to this script. I started noticing that clicks would not get registered near the edge of the screen (for example the scrollbar in a maximized browser becomes unclickable). I tried disabling the script and the problem stopped appearing.

Here is a screenshot of the issue. As you can see, the icon did not get highlighted while the cursor was closer to the screen edge. I have tried MACsimize which is a fork of this work (though with less available configurations) and the problem appeared with it too.

I am using Artix Linux (based on arch), I have a latte panel on the top and icons on the edges of the panel remain clickable.

Do you have other scrips running? This script only adds a few hooks, and essentially does nothing if there's no window changes.

Also, did you have this problem with a previous kwin? Also possible to be caused by kwin scripting in general.

I have only recently installed this script so I dont know if it was working with the previous kwin versions. Other kwin scripts that I have installed are:

Force Blur, Latte Windows Colors, Parachute and Sticky windows snapping.

and I am using virtual desktop bar applet to manage my virtual desktops.

I agree that the problem logically does not make sense, but for some reason as soon as I maximize a window and restore it with this script enabled, my clicks stop getting registered near the left and right edge of screen.

I realized while typing the previous response that it may have something to do with the virtual desktop bar settings I am using and after some testing, that does appear to be the case. It has a setting for dynamic desktops. Enabling it resolves the issue but then the virtual desktops do not switch automatically upon maximizing the window. I guess there are limitations to everything, will probably have to use some other virtual desktop manager.

Edited to add: Virtual desktop bar addresses compatibility issues with other kwin scripts because of using non native features. You may close the issue as it is not directly related to the script. Thanks for your time!
