Bug ID: 447666
Summary: Cannot show hidden panels with touchscreen on Wayland
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.23.4
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: arnaud.verg...@mailo.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
When panels are set to auto-hide on Wayland, it is impossible to show them by
only using a touchscreen. On X11, it works because the mouse cursor follows the
finger on the screen. On Wayland, there is no cursor anymore under the finger,
thus panels are not aware the user wants to show them when touching near a
screen edge.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set a panel to auto-hide on Wayland
2. Touch or swipe near the side of the screen the panel is
OBSERVED RESULT
Users cannot show panels by touching the screen's side where the panel is.
EXPECTED RESULT
Users should be able to make hidden panels appear either by touching near the
screen's side where the panel is, or by doing a small swipe gesture. If opting
for a swipe gesture, it should not interfere with screen edge actions by using
different distance thresholds (small to show panels, longer to trigger
actions).
