    Taskbar at top of screen - Some apps' title-bars open UNDERNEATH


    I only get it with apps that were previously using the space the taskbar was going to use before it was moved to the top. For example with HWMonitor put it to the top of screen when task bar is at bottom:

    Close app and then move taskbar to top

    Open HWMonitor and it remembers its old position (the top is hidden under the taskbar)

    Resize (here I just made it narrower) and the top jumps so it is no longer under the taskbar and will not go under it again.

    So perhaps moving the taskbar like you are is perpetuating the problem.

    Try making your app not full screen and in the middle of the screen. Close it then move taskbar to top. Then open your app again.

    Interestingly the taskbar properties box goes over the taskbar if taskbar is at the top and under it if the taskbar is at the bottom but that is another story...
