It doesn't exhibit this behavior for me.

Where does one select "Auto Hide?"  I think that would be nice to have on as
well.

The main thing I would like to see, and I've toyed with the code now for
some time but haven't completely finished it, is to make the panels close
when that part closes.  Right now, the Automake Manager/QMake Manager parts
don't close when the project closes and it leaves an ugly empty panel there.
