See #189 Does it look like your problem?

If it does, check #276, there is a little patch to fix the problem (but it is a temporary semisolution)

I've looked at what xfce4 devs did - and in fact they did the same thing keeping a little bit of panel on screen. So it seems to be a major issue with wayland itself, not just something wayfire could not manage. So I would suggest that this patch need to be merged. At least autohide will work without an issue.

AFAIK, yes, that's a problem wayland has, because an application cannot get cursor position outside its surface. But KDE and Wayfire have their own protocols to support "hotspot edges", so this is a solvable problem.

Also the problem seems to be solved by https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/pull/2630
