How the game launches together with the taskbar

When I open up world of warcraft classic the game screen is not in fullscreen
mode, it sets the game resolution to a custom to make space for taskbar.

If you rightclick on wow task in the taskbar and tick the fullscreen checkbox
it works fine, but if you close down the game and open up wow classic again
it's back ot the custom game resolution to fit the taskbar into the screen.

I have tried several versions of Wine, but since it happens with wine-staging I
have a feeling it's somehwere there.

Sadly I can't test older version of wine anymore since an update with the
Blizzard Update Agent not waking up, which was solved in 10.1.

I have seen people report this problem for the retail version of wow as well
but works for me there so I can't really report it.

There is a lutris thread asking about this issue as well.
