Mouse clicks sometimes not working in top-right corner of the screen

Description

Firstly, this is my first time submitting a bug report, so apologies if this is in the wrong place or anything.

I installed Solus (Budgie) on this computer last Thursday; since yesterday I've started experiencing an occasional problem where there's a rectangular area in the top-right corner of the screen where my mouse clicks to not register. The area seems to correspond with the notification area so I think it's related to that, and it started happening after yesterday's big kernel 5.4 update so it may be related to that (but again, this install is only a week old). My system is completely up to date. The problem does not seem to be present on startup but I'm not sure exactly when it starts happening - it may be related to getting a notification when I'm running a program in fullscreen (e.g. a game) but I'll try to narrow it down.

I'm attaching a screenshot with the rough location of the affected area highlighted.

Please let me know if you need any more information (logs, settings, running processses, etc.) I'm pasting some system information just in case that helps.
