Bug Description
[ Impact ]
* If the panel is positioned on the right side it overlaps maximized windows when scaling is 200%. The error also occurs with fractional scaling.
* This is a usability issue for any user who uses right-aligned panels (for example RTL users such as arabic may use right-aligned panels as opposed to left-aligned panels for 'roman' based languages and locales).
* There is no impact on kinetic users since the fix is already included in the kinetic budgie-desktop version.
[ Test Plan ]
* Using budgie-
* logout and login
* open an application and maximise the application. Note that the right-side window controls are visible and accessible i.e. not behind the right aligned panel.
* From a regression testing point of view - move the newly created panel to each of the two other sides of the screen not occupied.
* repeat the open application and maximise app test and note that the window contents are NOT obscured / hidden by the moved panel.
* move the panel back to the right-side of the screen
* Using budgie-
* logout and login
* open an application and maximise the application. Note that the right side window controls are now obscured/hidden behind the right aligned panel
* from the proposed repo install the following packages:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install budgie-desktop budgie-core libbudgie-plugin0 libbudgie-private0 libbudgietheme0 libraven0 gir1.2-budgie-1.0
* Logout and login
* open an application and maximise the application. Note that the right-side window controls are visible and accessible i.e. not behind the right aligned panel.

[ Where problems could occur ]
* The change is specifically around the way panels and its dimensions are calculated for creating Xorg struts. Regressions would be expected to be immediately visible when panels are on different edges and an application is maximised on the screen.
* The UB team has tested this and have confirmed that the upstream fix has not introduced regressions https:/
* The test plan includes testing the regression possibilities by examining panels on all sides of the screen.

If the panel is positioned on the right side it overlaps maximized windows when scaling is 200%. The error also occurs with fractional scaling.
Budgie version = budgie-desktop 10.6.1
Operating system = Ubuntu Budgie 22.04
Steps to reproduce the issue:
* Fresh Ubuntu Budgie Installation
* Budgie Desktop Settings: Move given panel to the right
* Budgie Control Center: Apply scaling 200% (or any fractional scaling)
* Maximize any application window
The maximized window takes the full screen width and is overlapped by the panel.

Fixed upstream via this commit https:/ /github. com/BuddiesOfBu dgie/budgie- desktop/ commit/ 80696102cfc36b9 da9b448dbc7d0d6 02010dbcb9
Fix is narrow in scope, can be tested easily and is unlikely to cause additional issues.
Candidate for a SRU.
