Show Desktop not totally in corner

I'm running Windows 11 (25H2, 26200.9711) in Full Screen mode in Parallels Desktop 27.0.3 on Golden Gate 27.0.1.

If I "throw" the mouse cursor to the bottom right corner of the Windows desktop and click, nothing happens. It should activate the Show Desktop function thus hiding all open windows. If I pause the mouse there, I even see a tooltip saying "Show desktop". However, in order to successfully activate Show Desktop I have to move the mouse cursor a few pixels up and to the left, away from the corner. This is a small but annoying bug, because it turns an effectively infinite mouse target into a very tiny mouse target (the button is only a few pixels wide).

I'm having this experience on two different machines running Parallels but it is not the case on my one native Windows 11 machine. This suggests the issue is an issue with Full Screen mode in Parallels, and not a more general Windows 11 UI quirk.
