[plasmashell] [Bug 330356] Panel auto-hide stops working after using desktop for a while.
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330356 Nate Graham changed: What|Removed |Added Resolution|--- |FIXED Status|CONFIRMED |RESOLVED --- Comment #46 from Nate Graham --- This issue from 2014 has unfortunately become un-actionable. The original issue is most likely fixed now, judging by a lack of other related recent bug reports, so it's likely that everyone else reporting "me too!" here is actually experiencing a different issue with a different root cause. I would recommend that everyone except for [email protected] open a *new* bug report describing their issue in detail. And [email protected], if you could re-open this issue only if it's still happening to you in Plasma 5.27.7, that would be great.

I did not tested xrender because I wan to use the opengl backend, and this would just hide the problem - not fixing it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Pressing the shortcut (as many times as panels you need) will make the panel reaper. It is a good workaround to recover a hidden panels without having to minimize all windows. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Hope this helps. This does not seems to be my issue, but to be sure I tested - does not help. My issue is not that the panel remain visible as per say, but that a ghost of it remain on the desktop, so clicking this ghost does nothing. >From what I can see the reject / close animation is not operating and ghost appear. When I move the mouse cursor to the bottom to enable the panel visibility, the open animation operate and at this time the ghost disappear but to come again once the mouse cursor leave the panel. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330356 --- Comment #35 from [email protected] --- After years of experiencing this issue I have the impression that this issue may correlate with the usage of multiple panels. In my setup I typically instantiate four of these for different purpose at different screen edges in a multi-monitor setup, most of these with auto-hide enabled. E.g. one of these panels exclusively containing a single virtual desktops widget on the right edge and with dimensions as big as possible (unfortunately this use case is not anticipated by the developers, but that's a different story) and in consequence it is auto-hide, of course. The thing is that this panel will begin to ignore its auto-hide property after some days or weeks of usage. Even worse, when removing this and trying to add a new one with the same properties this tends to ignore its auto-hide setting right from the beginning. IMO, as crazy as it sounds, plasma has a bug in properly maintaining the settings of multiple panels with similar settings.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330356 --- Comment #34 from RJVB --- Re: mouse-over: I used to be able to get the panel to hide (or go under) again by waving the mouse over it. I wonder, wouldn't it be a solution to add a setting to tell panels never to bring themselves to the front? A priori that should be independent of whether or not notifications appear frontmost (though I'll admit that I'd just as well NOT have most of those pop up in front of whatever it is I'm looking at and steal focus). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Then switching desktops, the notifications stay behind on the first desktop. But the panel refuses to hide on the second desktop as well. This will cause the tray-area to have a highlight as a visual clue, that one of the tray-icons is the reason the panel is kept open (you can check how the visual clue looks in your design by opening / closing the notifications). Otherwise I can only second the suggestion, to provide some debug command for asking all the panels to dump the reason why they think, they have to be visible. And if the smoking gun is in the hand of the taskmanager, it should itself blame the window-title and process that makes him in return request attention. Otherwise I hope for bug 394119 to alleviate this by allowing to dismiss the panel on mouse-over. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330356 RJVB changed: What|Removed |Added CC||[email protected] --- Comment #30 from RJVB --- I'm seeing the same issue (with both autohide and "windows can cover") on my fresh Devuan "Beowulf" install, and I can confirm Vlijmen's remark that this is not a new issue. I tend to get it from time to time on my Plasma4 desktop too (which I'm keeping for a reason on my main workhorse and would install it everywhere if packages still existed: it works!). There, it is always related to a window that "has something to tell me" and shows up highlighted in the task manager; clicking on it (or else on all task man. entries) always fixes the issue in the end. I have a similar experience with the MSWin taskbar: if it won't go back to its designated place it's usually if not always because of some notification that I have to acknowledge (after figuring out which/what it is). So a potential solution might be to provide an additional setting where you can disable the panel coming to the front because of a notification. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330356 Vlijmen Fileer changed: What|Removed |Added CC||[email protected] --- Comment #29 from Vlijmen Fileer --- I want to confirm this issue and add a few words. This happens regularly, since I started using Plasma about a month ago. The trigger is unknown to me; often it can be bettered by randomly switching desktop, minimising/maximising windows, or whatever. But not always; like now, the panel is stuck and even switching it to "Always visible" does not work (full-screen windows do not shrink to not be under the panel). As with the trigger, I've not found a single dependable way to correct it. As an aside: I've found this behaviour over the years not just in KDE, but in /all/ desktop environments I've used, for example XFCE, and also in Microsoft Windows. Rather than focussing on heuristically trying to find what widget or application might be triggering it, it should be recognised as a fault in the panel (or whatever underlying structures it uses). This issue is many years old, unsolved, and nobody has ever found a singular trigger for this issue. I expect a solution will only come from properly analysing the behaviour of the panel, possibly with user-accessible debug output.

That would explain why even rebooting plasmashell doesn't help, because the widget still thinks something is unresolved. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

It's often after switching from one app to another, the taskbar (whether set on auto-hide or allowing windows can go over taskbar) won't hide again. It can be on some apps and not others at the same time. It persists despite plasmashell being killed and restarted, which lead me to wonder if it was a widget problem keeping the taskbar activated. So, as a test, I deleted the widget "Task Manager" from the taskbar, just having the "start menu" and system/app icons/clock on the right on my taskbar. So far, after several hours of use, the problem of the taskbar not hiding is gone. So I wonder if it's actually a Task Manager Widget bug, and not a taskbar bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

The one that breaks auto-hide of panel is task manager/switcher with enabled option “show tasks only from current desktop”. When you disable this option (task switcher shows all running apps from all desktops) panel auto-hide works fine. You can also fix it by moving the mouse on the panel and after that it hides correctly. Maybe this is related with Bug 394119.
