Bug ID: 448206
Summary: switch desktop on edge breaks panel auto hide option
usability
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
switch desktop on edge breaks panel auto hide option
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. go to settings. workspace behavior, screen edges and set switch desktop on
edge to always
2. right click on panel, edit, more options, enable auto hide
OBSERVED RESULT
Now you cant show or unhide the panel by hovering your mouse on the bottom of
the screen, making the panel only accessible by pressing meta to open the app
launcher for example, effectively breaking a good part of the "auto hide"
usability.
EXPECTED RESULT
Since I have only a row of virtual desktops, switching between them on the
bottom and top of the screen is impossible, so I would expect to be able to
show the panel with my mouse. Alternatively, a simple warning when you have
auto hide enabled on the panel and try to set "switch desktop on edge" to
always could be displayed, this is a very annoying bug, specially when you
don't know what caused it
