--- Comment #13 from Michael Zanetti <[email protected]> --- (In reply to lucian303 from comment #12) > So let me get this straight. The *intended* behavior is that I click on > every single window that demands attention each time it does so that > autohide works? So every Whatsapp, Slack, Signal, Keybase message that comes > in I have to switch to it to hide the panel> Every time FF or other app > starts up I need to stop what I'm doing and click through these things?

At first I thought it was just random (also because the dots > indicating an app wants attention are almost invisible). No desktop > environment I have ever used does what this panel does. It's neither > intuitive nor expected. This UX is beyond bizarre and frankly, unusable. Now, I agree with pretty much you are saying here. I'd still like to remind you that we're all supposed to be friends here and be nice to each other :). I also understand that's hard at times, because, I also agree this bug can be so annoying that it makes one angry when it's interrupting a focus demanding workflow. @triffid.hunger, after reading the review comments from David on your patch, I understand your patch will prevent all plasmoids from popping up, not just the panel. I can understand that this is not a solution that will be accepted upstream. Do you think you could try and fix this in a way that could be accepted upstream? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
