Bug description

I am using a 1366 by 768 Screen.
When the panel height is set to 22, 25, 29, 32, 35, 42, 48, 49, 52, 55 or 58, Top panels set to intelligently hide don't show on mouse hover. This also applies when set to automatically hide.
Panels on the left and right of the Screen set to automatically hide do not shop up at all.
Bottom panel doesn't seem to have these issues.

Steps to reproduce

See Bug description

Expected behavior

Panels should show on mouse hover when set to any screen resolution, at any size.

Additional information

Edit:
I recently switched to a 1080p Monitor, the issue with side panels persists, which is not how it behaves on a different device. It seems like my issues are the result of user error or a corrupt install, but i'm leaving this online just in case. If nobody is able to reproduce this behavior, then ignore this report

Research direction

No files or tests are mentioned. Start by reproducing the panel behavior in Cinnamon on a 1366x768 display with the listed panel heights and intelligent or automatic hiding enabled, then compare top, side, and bottom panels. Done means hidden panels appear reliably on mouse hover, or the report is narrowed to a reproducible configuration.
