ObjectDock and Tiles Screen Area Conflict

"Reserve edge of screen" in ObjectDock suddenly shortening Tiles real estate on left side of screen

So I have owned the original ObjectDock and Tiles for some years now, and have been working on a surface application that enables/disables the aforementioned in addition to some other ancillary software, the idea being to switch between custom workspaces depending on which project I am developing.

For a long time, while writing my application, ObjectDock and Tiles played along well, however I have run into a recent change to their behavior that I am at a loss to explain or correct.

My settings and software versions are as follows:

Software:

Tiles v1.2 (64-bit)
ObjectDock v2.20.0.862 (I would assume 64-bit, though a few of the processes are reporting 32-bit)

Suspected Relevant Tiles Settings:

Appearance >

[ x ] Put the bar on left side of the screen
[   ] Make the bar appear on top of other windows
[ x ] Keep bar visible when windows are maximized

Relevant ObjectDock Settings:

Position Reserve edge of screen >

[ x ] Reserve edge of screen

Position Edge >

[ Bottom edge of screen ]

Position Alignment >

[ centered ]

Originally, when both applications were running, and even when both were initiated manually, Tiles would stretch the entire height of the left side of my screen, and maximized applications would fill the area between the top of my screen, the right side of Tiles, the top of the dock, and the left side of my taskbar (positioned on the right side of my screen).

The issue is that Tiles no longer fills the height of my screen, ending instead at the top height of the dock.

Is there a fix for this?  Can I request one?  The larger issue here is that I have not gotten to utilize Tiles or ObjectDock in their intended capacity since my initial purchase of both, and I have already spent many hours over the course of several years developing my application.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. It is best to post screenshots showing your issue. But, if my assumption is correct, if you disable Object Dock "Reserve edge of screen" Tiles bar should run entire vertical height of your monitor, refer screenshot below.

Thank you,

Do you also mean those versions of software as both are rather outdated?

Also are you also using Start11 as that can impact things too?
