Cannot interact with empty areas of the dock

[MuravlevAS]

When the dock shows up, I cannot interact with the area that is empty.

It is annoying when I, for example, receive a notification from Telegram and cannot click on it when the dock is shown.

I would plus 1000. Thats a really annying issue. I have a better example that is just very frustrating:

When you are working on a 21:9 monitor with 4k resolution you tend to have smaller apps over the full height (lets say spotify for example). Now I set up the dock to only evade active windows: when the active window does not touch the dock it will not hide (and in spotify it means I can't click play / pause, next etc...).. I regularly fall upon this and click like a maniac expecting spotify to be hanging.

There is a workaround by decreasing Dock size limit in the settings, but it is not a proper solution.
