Linux Mint taskbar not working in full screen mode?

Question

linux

TL;DR: The taskbar in full screen mode does not respond to clicks, instead it is hidden. Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon.
Greetings! I switched to Linux not so long ago, I have the knowledge that I need for comfortable use, while everything suits me. I tried several distributions, settled on Linux Mint Cinnamon. There was a problem: the taskbar in full screen mode does not respond to clicks properly (in the sense, as without full screen mode), instead it is hidden. Github mentioned this issue on a newer oneversion of the distribution, but no solutions were found, the developers did not give an answer (I don’t know if this is a bug, a flaw, or maybe it’s a feature (c)) In this regard, the question for more knowledgeable people: how to solve this problem (without changing the distribution / shell? Perhaps there is some extension that will solve this problem, or something. Thanks in advance!
PS if I do not get an answer here, I will write an answer to the issue on Github, ask for help there.
