Research direction

Start by reading the bar configuration and goth corner rendering code; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Reproduce with a horizontal bar that has goth corners enabled and a vertical bar with a custom height. Done means the horizontal bar keeps both goth corners regardless of the vertical bar’s position.

Description

When having a top and a vertical bar, the goth corners of the top bar get disabled on the side of the vertical bar. Not only when they touch but also when the vertical one has a custom height and doesn't even touch the top one.

Expected Behavior

The goth corners should still be there.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create two bars: horizontal and vertical
  2. Enable goth corners on the horizontal one

There was also this area that should have been the goth corner but was semi-transparent. The semi-transparence issue disappeared after dms restart though.
