HTML-based wallpapers, such as the ParallaxJS demo, do not transmit clicks to desktop, resulting in the inability to open applications by clicking desktop shortcuts, or to select items using a drag box.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install and select the ParallaxJS demo wallpaper
  2. Go to the desktop
  3. Click on desktop icons / drag a box
  4. Icons are highlighted on hover but not clicked

These steps should result in the desktop functioning normally.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 11 21H2
  • ParallaxJS

Additional context
This occurs on any HTML based wallpaper, as far as I can tell. It also occurs whether Mouse interaction when application focused is on or not.

No, it works fine then. It also seems to be fine when it is set to Keyboard, but all the icons disappear.

Oh yes, turning off mouse interaction solves the clicking problem.

For me, I am able to select icons on the first attempt, but after that I cannot until I select another window, then I can select or click on icons one more time again.
