Clicking items at the very bottom of the taskbar.

When using the classic theme on 8.1, when clicking things on the taskbar, if you move your cursor to the very bottom of the screen and click it, it doesn't work (because it seems as though the cursor is below the item).  On Windows 7 and before, you could click with the cursor all the way down and it would still work.  Is there some fix for this on 8.1?  I quickly move my cursor around when using the taskbar and this would be a great quality of life upgrade.
