Bug ID: 16221
Summary: autohide animation interacts poorly with fluxbox,
please make optional
Classification: Xfce Core
Product: Xfce4-panel
Version: 4.15.0
Hardware: PC (x86_64)
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Medium
Component: Panel
Assignee: [email protected]

patch to implement requested panel option
xfce4-panel recently added a slide animation to hiding the panel. However, this
animation seems to interact poorly with the fluxbox window manager, which I use
instead of xfwm4, leading to a cascade of X events which brings my X server to
its knees. I kindly request that the animation be made optional.
I have created a pull request on github xfce4-mirror/xfce4-panel to implement
this requested change; I have attached the contents of the pull request as a
patch to this issue report. The patch adds a parameter to the panel preferences
to select that the auto hide style be "Slide" (for the new animated version) or
"collapse" (for an instant departure of the panel). With my panels set to
collapse, I find the destructive interaction with fluxbox to be eliminated.
Please consider either adopting this patch or implementing some other means by
which the animation would be optional, if there is some difficulty with the
patch from your point of view. Thank you very much for your consideration.
