Bug ID: 402912
Summary: Plasma Panel Autohide does not work when KWin
HideUtilityWindowsForInactive is false
Product: kwin
Version: 5.14.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: core
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: oyvi...@everdot.org
Target Milestone: ---
1. Set panel to auto-hide
2. Set HideUtilityWindowsForInactive to unchecked/false with Systemsettings ->
Window management -> Window actions and behavior -> [ ] Hide utility windows
for inactive applications. This setting changes $HOME/.config/kwinrc [Windows]
section setting HideUtilityWindowsForInactive
This setting makes panel auto-hiding stop working. It reappears switching
between windows by clicking on them or by changing with alt-tab and then it's
stuck, forever, until mouse pointer is hoovered over the panel.
Changing HideUtilityWindowsForInactive back to true fixes this. However, having
this true hides the utility windows - as intended. These windows are sometimes
useful, smplayer's playlist is one such window. Open smplayer and the playlist
and dolphin and try to drag files from dolphin to the playlist with this
setting and You can't because the playlist is gone the moment you click
dolphin. There's other reasons why I don't want this setting.
The current situation is that I can use a kwin setting I don't want and have
auto-hiding panel(s) or have working auto-hide and utility windows go away when
I need them.
XFCE4 does not have this problem.
While kwin setting is what triggers this it's probably an effect of
plasmashell/the way the panel works.
Please let me know if I can provide more information and how to gather it if
that is the case.
