While playing Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition, I encountered an issue that can affect gameplay. It's hard to explain, so I'll try to simplify it.
In Java edition, when you move your mouse to look around when playing, the cursor is hidden and is always in the middle of the screen. On the other hand, Windows 10 Edition seems to let the cursor move around when it's hidden, and when it reaches the bottom, the taskbar shows up (and if it touches the Minecraft Icon, the game will immediately pause or show the menu).
It also goes the same with the Title bar, If I move my mouse up at the Title bar, the Title Bar, of course, appears. This issue affects my gameplay, especially when fighting, doing a parkour course, building, and other aspects of the game. (Here is someone else's video on Youtube showing the issue: https://youtu.be/PHIagQECG0o )
( I will include some of my screenshots of the issue and someone else's video)
I have resorted to many solutions, such as reinstalling the game in the launcher, applying "reset and repair" in settings, and all other solutions in these articles: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/taskbar-showing-up-when-playing-minecraft-windows/4a1a5c48-1e7d-4a5c-83eb-a4e0c4377a88
Before I never had these issues before and I think it has got something to do with the New Minecraft Launcher. Before, I downloaded Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition from the Microsoft Store, and due to the launch of the new Minecraft Launcher, the application is removed from the store. The only way I can update is through the Launcher. And I reinstalled Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition to update it to the latest version, and that's when the issues started.
I think the best fix to this is to make it so that the cursor stays in place to not move around.

This is still definitely not resolved, and I came here just for this. It's been happening for years. Windows 10, current version.
The bottom of the screen appears in fullscreen mode but occasionally when the mouse finds itself down at the bottom and you click the left mouse button, it brings up the taskbar despite taskbar settings being correct as well as being in true fullscreen. This has been a nuissance for years. Please ACTUALLY fix it, as I looked it up and lots of people have the same issue on other sites and people who have no idea what they're talking about are trying to help them, saying things like maybe your minecraft is incompatible with Windows? It's literally windows 10 edition that has this problem, Microsoft owns Mojang so surely they can get this fixed together
