FancyZones, FancyZones Editor

Steps to reproduce

After the most recent Windows system update (see below), Fancyzones seemed to want to draw the windows at the full height of the monitor, even though the taskbar takes up space at the bottom. This causes the bottom of various windows to be cut off when positioned with Fancyzones. To resolve this, I've had to create custom zones with a "buffer" at the bottom of the boxes the height of the window. What's strange is that this has happened periodically to me before, but this is the first time I've had it happen consistently, even after a restart.

Sample of the layout I've had to create, with bottom padding:

Result of snapping windows to fancy zones:

Windows version information:

Version	21H2
Installed on	‎1/‎27/‎2022
OS build	22000.978
Serial number	015403103157
Experience	Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.978.0

✔️ Expected Behavior

Sizing the a zone in the fancyzones editor to the full height of a monitor should not be able to exceed the height of the user space of the display.

❌ Actual Behavior

Snapping a window causes the bottom to be drawn "behind" the taskbar, cutting off the bottom of the window. This is exacerbated in chat applications (slack, messenger, discord, etc) when the input field is at the bottom of the window.

Note that you cannot see the bottom arrows of the scrollbar.

i've been noticing this for months with every windows update. to fix it each time, i turn fancyZones off and then back on again.
