Single click in bottom pixel row grabs taskbar button

I'd like to make sure this is actually a bug before I submit it at Sourceforge.
When the mouse cursor is anywhere other than at the very bottom of the screen, a single click on a taskbar button does what it's supposed to: it brings up the associated window. However, clicking a taskbar button at the bottom pixel row of the screen appears to grab the button, as though I had clicked and held the button in preparation for a drag-and-drop operation to reorder the buttons. The associated window does not come up, and the cursor changes to a fist. Left alone, the cursor stays this way. Any mouse movement after this causes the cursor to change to the semi-transparent hamburger-menu icon for approximately 0.5 seconds (the same icon that goes with click-dragging a taskbar button), then back to the normal arrow cursor, after which I can try again.
I'm on stock Lubuntu 17.10 64-bit with the open-vm-tools package, running on the free VMware 12 Workstation Player in Windows 8.
