example screencast
SUMMARY
If you have a panel set to auto-hide on the same screen edge as you have a
normal always-visible panel, the auto-hidden "drawer" panel, when triggered to
show, is not drawn on-top if the normal panel was the last to have been
interacted with. As in, if you right-click any widget in the normal panel, this
will "bring it forward", and the auto-hidden panel will be drawn beneath it. If
the auto-hidden panel is not big enough and becomes completely covered by the
first panel, it is impossible to interact with without resizing or moving the
first panel.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a normal panel set to be "always visible", to any edge of the screen
2. Add a second panel set to "auto-hide", to the same edge of the screen
3. Move mouse to where the second panel hides and observe it sliding out, on
top of the first panel
4. Add any widget to it
5. Right-click any widget in the first panel
6. Observe that the second panel stays in place but is now drawn beneath the
first panel, as if right-clicking the first panel's widget gave it focus
7. Move mouse away to make the second panel hide
8. Move mouse to bring back the second panel again
OBSERVED RESULT
The second panel is drawn beneath the first panel and, depending on their
relative sizes, can potentially not be interacted with. You would have to
resize the first panel or move it to a different edge of the screen.
EXPECTED RESULT
Auto-hidden panels are always drawn on top of normal panels. (I just asked it
to "appear" by moving the mouse to where it's hiding.)
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Aurora (Universal Blue) 43.20251022.1:beta
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have too many icons hidden in the systray submenu, so I thought I'd place the
ones I rarely access on a second panel that I can bring out on demand. This
drawer thing seems to work in principle, but the focus issues are unfortunate.
