Maybe helpful: I had the same issue in WPF, and I solved it by removing one pixel from the window height.

Why was this closed? I can confirm the same behaviour with Windows 11 and Terminal 1.11.3471.0 .

I saw this behavior and created this issue, but when I wanted to show that to my friend, I couldn't reproduce it. Then I closed the issue :)

See also: #4857

Note to future code archeologists: This doesn't seem to work for fullscreen on the primary display. However, testing a bunch of other apps with fullscreen modes and an auto-hiding taskbar has shown that none of them reveal the taskbar from fullscreen mode. This includes Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Sublime Text, Powerpoint - none seemed to support this.

This does however work fine for maximized

In my case, it's when maximized (not fullscreen) that the taskbar doesn't reveal, and only with Terminal, all other programs behave as intended regarding taskbar auto-hide.
