Full Screen Start Menu & Taskbar Autohide Issue

When I hit the Windows key the Start11 background process is calculating the fullscreen size of the start menu first (with no taskbar visible), then applying the taskbar as visible after, which is in turn pushing the top of the full screen start menu off the top of the visible screen real estate and therefore making the group name(s) not visible onscreen.

May I add that it appears the root cause is when you have Start11 > Taskbar > Enhanced taskbar settings > "Enable Start11 autohide mode" enabled and Start11 > Start Menu > Configuration > Advanced Options > "Use fullscreen menu" both enabled.

When both the above settings are enabled it "pushes the top of the start menu" off the viewable screen area and you are then unable to see the header of the icon group. The titles are still there, as if you disable "Use fullscreen menu" they are visible once again.

I am using:

Windows11 23H2

Start11 v2.08

Style: Windows 10

2No. LG 27GN800-B Monitors

I have tried other options such as disabling "more tiles" etc, however it appears to only be a conflict between the 2 detailed above.

The same issue occurs if the start menu is opened on my primary and/or secondary monitor.

I am unable to replicate it on my other machine as it is only on Win11 21H2.

I have disabled "Enable Start11 autohide mode" for now, but would like to use both settings together if a fix can be found for this conflict.

Hope this helps to troubleshoot the issue, your assistance is appreciated.
