https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349785 Holger changed: What|Removed |Added CC||private_l...@yahoo.com --- Comment #18 from Holger --- Just curious: 1. How will "intelligent autohide" interact with maximized but inactive windows? Currently I have 4 desktops each running a maximized Firefox and I only see my desktop once a week on reboot - so I guess, the "intelligent" part is totally lost on me unless the panel is allowed to cover inactive windows. 2. What about the side-by-side layout via Meta+Cursor Left/Right? Should this in addition show the "intelligent autohide" panel or shall it be covered? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Ahaa, found the issue. I changed the "Switch desktop on edge" option to "always" which explains why the panel was reluctant to display - even though I don't have a 2 row desktop setup. Seems like the screen edge feature hijacks these events in this case. Anyways, as long as you use either "Disabled" or "Only when moving Windows" option, the behavior is exactly like @Tony described - behind windows, but displays if user moves mouse to the edge. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I'm not sure when this happened, but I clearly remember this working correctly. It seems that is not the case anymore. Having a maximized window completely blocks the panel and the panel stays behind the window even when you move the mouse to the screen edge... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

OP seems to be inclined to close it. No, since it's not a native panel from plasma. But it [Latte-Dock] does have a few additional behaviours on their own. I would close this right now saying that a similar approach was implemented, but I'm waiting for confirmation on my previous comment #c10 (comment 10) by third parties. I may even do it before that, when I have more free time to review everything. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

One could think having this available to download easily is enough, or that this feature from Latte-Dock should be merged to "regular" panel.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349785 --- Comment #10 from aneto.l...@gmail.com --- Well, I haven't updated this bug since I reported it, but I can emulate the desired behaviour with the option "Window Can Cover" since a while. What happens is, if there are maximized windows or windows that are close to the panel, the window will be on top of the panel, making it hidden, if you pass the mouse cursor on the corner where the panel is, it will show it's "shadow", and if you put the pointer on the edge where the panel is, it'll appear. It's pretty handy, helping with the screen real state. And if there are no maximized windows (or windows touching the panel's borders) the panel will be shown fully. I think the only thing it doesn't do is have the "intelligent" label and a auto hide embedded with this behaviour, which I don't mind at all.

I started to use the Plank dock for this reason, plain hiding in Plasma feels a decade old! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Maybe having intelligent autohide instead of plain hiding would help to have a good design without adding an option? I can't think of any usecase where plain hide is better than intelligent autohide.
