Bug: Taskbar doesn't un-hide when Files is full screened/maximized

See original GitHub issue

Description

My taskbar autohides. When every other app is open, if I hover to the bottom of my screen, the taskbar will show up. But this is not the case when this app is open. This doesn’t let the taskbar show up. I have tried restarting the app, restarting the PC and even reinstalling the app. Yet, always, this app prevents the taskbar from showing up.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Enable the option Automatically hide the taskbar
  2. Open files app in Maximized Window and let taskbar hide
  3. Hover to the bottom of the screen and try to open the taskbar (it won’t show up)
  4. Open any other app as maximized window and hover to the bottom of the screen and now, the taskbar will show up

For now, the only ways to show the taskbar is to press the windows key or close/minimize/restore the Files app

Steps to fix

Reveal the taskbar on hover (reaching the bottom of the screen) when taskbar is set to autohide
