Problem Details:

Sometimes, when I go into the editor, the windows taskbar stays visible and makes things under it unclickable; the only way I found to fix this is to restart the pc everytime it happens, which is quite annoying for a person who edits more than playing.
I still don't have a clue of why it happens, and when it happens. I've tested things like, alt tabbing from specific softwares to osu!, but it still seems like it's random.
However, when I go into the "play" song selection, the problem doesn't appear.

Other thing to mention that could help, idk: usual softwares that I keep on running in the background are chrome/mozilla, discord, steam, utorrent, telegram and sharex.

Might as well share specs, maybe it's a known bug with a specific piece of hardware? (even if by searching on the forum, I found nothing)
GPU: ASUS GTX950
CPU: i5-6400
Mobo: MSI H170 M3

I also have this problem sometimes!

This is a bug due to Windows 10.
The only way to fix this currently is enabling auto hide of taskbar.
Right click the taskbar and go to settings, and enable the auto hide function.

Should probably be fixable too by restarting explorer.

You can make a restart.bat script with this code:
TASKKILL /F /IM explorer.exe
start explorer.exe
EXIT

You can also try cycling between fullscreen/windowed/borderless.

I think this bug often happens on fullscreen borderless forms.

For Kao: yeah, I know that's an available option but I'd like to keep my taskbar static, not hiding or anything like that.

Yeah, the point is, even if you have fullscreen no borderless on, it gets forced when you open the editor because of imaginable circumstances.
Thank you btw! I actually forgot to try to restart explorer, and it looks like it fixes the issue.
