> The reason for this is that on panels that are not on the edge of the whole framebuffer, but have some "dark area" below/above/... them it's almost impossible to exactly hit the trigger-area. With a little app i wrote its possible to "bounce" the mouse-pointer back out of the "dark area", but this creates mouse-leave events in plasma first before the pointer comes back after a few ms.
