Forced to gate-check a backpack with a computer - Does it happen?

I’m concerned about being required to gate-check my backpack with my computer. Have you ever been in a situation where you were forced to gate-check your personal items sized backpack with a computer because there was an obstacle like a junction box under the seat, or the backpack slightly exceeded the personal item size restrictions-and the overhead bins were full?

I’ve run into those awkward situations before where the bag technically meets the airline's limits, but there’s just something under the seat that blocks it from fitting properly. Fortunately, when that has happened, there was space in the overhead bin.

I'd appreciate hearing your experiences—whether the airline made you gate-check it.

Thanks in advance - and any tips or stories would be super helpful!
