Bug ID: 487016
Summary: panel still doesn't autohide right
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.0.4
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: t...@adminart.net
CC: niccolo.venera...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
panel still doesn't autohide
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. set the panel to autohide
2. switch one desktop to the left or right
OBSERVED RESULT
The panel unhides if hidden and remains unhidden.
It's still autoUNhiding all the time and not autohiding!
Flipping the mouse pointer over the panel doesn't hide the panel; I guess it
doesn't register fast enough. Most of the time it doesn't unhide even when you
move the mouse over it and wait and move it away. It's really getting in the
way and I don't want to have the move the mouse pointer for that.
How do you actually hide the panel?
EXPECTED RESULT
The panel doesn't unhide.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This was promised to have been fixed in plasma 6. It's still not fixed and not
any better than it was in plasma 5 and soooooooooo annoying!!
There are probably more conditions that get the panel stuck but it's hard to
tell because the panel is usually stuck all the time and just doesn't hide.
Perhaps we need a keyboard shortcut to toggle the panel and an option to keep
the panel hidden until that key is pressed. That includes bringing up the menu
that comes when clicking the button at the left of the panel: I'm using a
shortcut for that and I don't want the panel to unhide when bringing up that
menu.
BTW, yes, when bringing up the menu the panel unhides and gets stuck as well.
Please fix this.
I don't even need the panel at all. What is it for? The only purpose would be
to bring up the menu and I guess I can't bring up the menu without having a
panel because the menu is part of the panel. If I can get the menu without the
panel I'd just remove the stupid panel and would finally be done with it.
I don't dare to remove the panel because there's probably no way to get it back
if it turns out that I can't get the menu without having a panel :(
