Hi Sébastien, could you add more details on your configuration and
especially
which applications use those reserved spaces? I didn't experience
this issue
here at least with a standard Xfce desktop (so with xfce4-panel).

Hi there, sorry for the response delay.
I indeed use a custom environment with Xfwm and not the classical Xfce.
I just launch xfwm4 and some hand-made applications at startup through
a ~/.xsession script.
Here's attached a minimal script (using Python3/Xlib) to create a panel
window reserving space at the top of the screen. When Xfwm 4.16 (or any
other classical WM) is running in a standalone way, space is indeed
avoided by the maximized window, so we have the panel and the maximized
window's titlebar next to each other; but when Xfwm 4.18 is running,
strut is ignored and the panel and the maximized window's titlebar end
at the exact same location.
Hope it'll help.
Regards,
