How to reproduce

Windows 10 or 11 - Taskbar Settings - "Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode" - ON
Taskbar is hidden
Move mouse to bottom, top or sides where taskbar is placed.
Taskbar appears over ALL app windows.
Open Orca Slicer - any version - Windows 10 or Windows 11
Maximise the window after it opens
Now move mouse to access the taskbar.
Taskbar does not pop up over the app.
Resize app window so it is NOT maximised
Now taskbar pops up when needed.
This annoying bug is NOT present in any version of Prusa Slicer. Cannot say with Bambu slicer.

Actual results

Cannot access the taskbar when Orca Slicer window is maximised if the taskbar setting is "Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode" - ON

Expected results

Taskbar MUST appear over all apps even if the app is maximised. This is the status in Prusa slicer.

Project file & Debug log uploads

This happens in any version of Orca Slicer and its derivatives. (Orca Flashforge etc.)
Does NOT happen in Prusa Slicer.
