Sorry for that, but the test builds are test builds!
Okay, mostly working, in this case not.

This problem is well known, but we have to test if it builds and if it is working.
We are on it, but this week it will be a won't fix.
There are so many changes currently that everyone has to be patient.

Did you try to add a taskbar the normal way, by clicking on the desktop?

Did you try the standard breeze theme?

And no, I didn't download the latest test build to find a fast solution.

Well, I tested it in a VM (virtual machine).

Do a right click on the desktop, then click "enter edit mode", then "Add Panel", click on "Default Panel", know you should have a panel/task bar!

Fixed it, Thank you!

(Turns out it was a hardware problem, the trackpad was not sending right mouse clicks)
