    I'm having this problem too with DL ver 1.6 on macOS 12.2. Three ways to "Show Desktop":
    1) Function+F11.
    2) trackpad gesture of thumb and 3 fingers
    3) using hot corners: SysPrefs > Desktop & Screen Saver > Hot Corners > Desktop

    No matter the method, I cannot select anything on the desktop of my primary DisplayLink monitor. I can only select desktop icons on the built-in M1 MacBook Air display or the secondary DisplayLink monitor. If I swap primary monitors to the other DL monitor the problem follows, can't select anything on the desktop of the primary DL monitor while using "Show Desktop". I'm using a Plugable USBC-6950U.
    Please fix this bug!
    Thanks!

    ***Update*** When the DisplayLink software is running and the DisplayLink adapter is unplugged you cannot select anything on the primary monitor using "show desktop". Quit the software and it works fine.
