Using the current distribution of Xubuntu (release 18.04, XFCE version
4.12 at the time of writing), this problem is either not fixed or has
resurfaced.
The temporary solution published here:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/228217/xfce-4-10-panel-auto-hide-feature-stops-working-on-occasions
Now I have upgraded to Xubuntu 15.10, and the problem seems to have been
solved. Thanks for everyone concerned.

Fails trying to hide
My panel preferences are exactly the same. I tried removing the
separator at the end as I already had it with the same result. Adding
the separator again also made no difference. Upgrading to 15.10 may be
the only real solution.

I have the same version and I tried adding a separator after 'Action
Buttons', but the problem continues for me. Only the workaround
(xfce4-panel -r from a cmdline) works. I wonder how this remains
unresolved for so long. Is nobody else using Xface.

Srinivas, just for completeness, you may want to compare with my panel
settings, which are:
Mode: Horizontal
(YES) Lock Panel
(YES) Automatically show and hide the panel
(NO) Don't reserve space on borders
Row Size (pixels): 32
Number of rows: 1
This also affects me on a fresh install of xubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64 with
all updates.
The command xfce4-panel --version reports "xfce4-panel 4.11.0 (Xfce 4.10)".
A workaround that seems to have fixed it for me is to insert a separator
as the last item in my panel (to the right of the
After so many years and so many new versions, the problem continues for
me. If I click the shutdown button, the bottom panel does not autohide
and I have to use the workaround. The patch which is supposed to have

The workaround (xfce4-panel -r from a cmdline) works, however, this is REALLY
ANNOYING.

Apologies for asking a dumb question, but how do I find out what version
of xfce4-panel contains the fix? I'm on xubuntu 14.04 and I haven't
seen an update yet.

The problem still continues for me. I have two panels. Even if I click
once on the shutdown button on my bottom panel, it refuses to autohide,
however the top panel autohides as usual. I have to use the command
'xfce4-panel -r' to make the bottom panel autohide again.

I also have this same fault. I have top bottom auto-hide panels on
xubuntu 14.04. If I even look at my top-right suspend/shut
down/restart/logout menu item the auto-hide stops. Logging out and back
in, or entering command xfce4-panel -r fixes it, but it is irritating.
It's all too easy to open
I upgraded to xubuntu 14.04 and the problem persisted. I have now
reinstalled Xubuntu 14.04 (for different reasons) and the problem still
persists. When I suspend the system and come back, the panels do not
autohide. I have to use the 'xfce4-panel -r' command to make the panels
autohide again.

In my case xfce4-panel -r is not an acceptable workaround because it
kills and restarts the whole X server, so it's not that different
compared to a reboot.

This happens for also in 13.10. No matter how much I reset the panel, it still
comes back.
Every time my PC goes into lock, and I log back in, the panel is stuck.

Confirmed, Saucy 13.10. When it happens running

fix the issue. It happens just with the top panel for me (panel 1);
panel 0 works ok.

I recently upgraded my Xubuntu from Precise to Saucy (I actually did a
fresh install) and this bug persists: After going to sleep, my only
panel fails to auto-hide.
@jacob11 quite reasonably asked, why the patch fixing this bug hasn't
made it to the release channel. Here six moths later, the
From what I have experienced I think wherever the problematic panel is doesn't
matter, be it top, left, right, or bottom.
The panel with the action buttons (the one with your user name on it, with log
out, shutdown, and other options) tends to be the one with the autohide
problem.

Strange i somehow fixed it by moving around some buttons in the task bar
and changed the action menu on the right to some button (actually i
disabled most and left with one i need most, the off button). Okay i
will still test it the next days so i will report when someting goes
wrong. Also created
Me too Kilian after resuming a suspend and when clicking two times on
the default top-right button with your login name on it. The bottom
panel is hiding okay but the top panel on the other hand doesn´t hide.
Have to reboot or reset the panels in the terminal with xfce4-panel -r

It is really strange to see that when there is a fix it is not included
'for the masses'. I think I shall add the two PPAs, but I worry about
changing other things that I am not facing any problems right now and
facing new problems!
