Bug ID: 475824
Summary: Panels dont reappear with multi monitor setup
bordering
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: shaloksha...@protonmail.ch
CC: niccolo.venera...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
The multi monitor arrangement does prevent panels that are set to "windows can
cover" from appearing when hovering.
The issue is clearly, that the second monitor borders to the area, where the
panel is located.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Put the second monitor in the display configuration ABOVE the primary one.
2. Set a panel bordering that area to "windows can cover" (so a panel at the
top, in this example)
3. See that you cant reliably (if at all) bring that panel back, by hovering
over its activation area.
OBSERVED RESULT
Panel does not reappear, until I remove the second monitor from the bordering
area.
EXPECTED RESULT
The panel reappears when hovering over its designated space.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I tested this in Wayland.
I wanted to see, if this was a Wayland-exclusive bug, and then switched in SDDM
to my X11 session.
Now, inxi -F shows me the following data, which does indicate - together with
the 'about this system' KCM - that I am still in Wayland nonetheless. This is
most likely a quirk with my distro, as they just recently added this.
> Display: wayland server: X.org v: 1.21.1.8 with: Xwayland v: 23.2.1
> compositor: kwin_wayland
Let us assume, for now, that this is not confirmed in X11.
PERSONAL NOTE:
I am running Plasma 5 with Wayland for 2 Weeks now. 7/8 bugs I discovered, are
related to "windows can cover" panels.
