It seems this only happens in my own user profile. New, clean user profiles don't have this problem.

New user profiles didn't have the problem... Until I started applying my usual preferences :)

I have a two-screen setup, and the bug started happening again when I changed the position of my screens. New steps to reproduce the bug:

0. Connect two screens to your PC, of different sizes preferably.
1. Go to settings -> screens -> change position.
2. Change the relative position of the secondary screen regarding the primary screen.
3. Apply changes.
4. Log out and in again.

The configuration shown in the screenshot is causing this bug in my case.
