Full Screen Overlay in Immersive Mode Not Filling All Vertical Pixels

I have run into the bug described here while attempting to create my own full-screen blocking overlay scene. The original post I linked to describes the issue well:

I'm trying to have tasker blank the entire screen, including the top status bar and bottom nav bar. But overlays don't seem to cover the top and bottom bars. If I switch to immersive mode to hide the bars, there seems to be a bug in tasker that crops the scene at the top and bottom. I don't want to use an activity instead because that causes the underlying app to lose focus.

A fix for this issue would be much appreciated!

I am in the same boat. 

A fullscreen blocking overlay does not cover the full screen, which is annoying.

I am using this for a monitor of IP Cams, to turn the screen black if nothing is happening (my better half is verry light sensitive when it comes to sleeping).

As a workaround i am using an activity now, but then the app, that i just want to overlay, looses focus and that triggers tasker to think, that this app has been closed, which messes up my entire automation in tasker and creates additional problems.

So please try to restore the overlay functionality of older Android versions (it worked fine on Android 7 until my tablet died...), where the entire screen could be overlayed, including Task- and Nav-Bar.
