Bug ID: 482087
Summary: panel does a bad job autohiding
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
Reporter: test at adminart.net
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
I have the panel set to autohide but it doesn't work right in that the panel
unhides every time another window gets the focus and remains unhidden until I
move the mouse pointer over the panel to make it "automatically" hide.
Effectively, I have to "autohide" panel manually.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. in settings, set Window Management-->Window Behaviour-->Window activation
policy to Focus follows mouse (mouse precedence)
2. set the panel to autohide (and optionally move it to the top of the display
instead of having it at the bottom)
3. wait for the panel to automatically hide, or move the mouse pointer over the
panel to hide it
4. move the mouse pointer to a different window and it unhides itself
OBSERVED RESULT
The panel unhides like all the time and I have to keep moving the mouse pointer
over the panel to unhide it every time when I want to use a titlebar or a menu
of a window (or whatever else) that gets covered by the panel :(
This is the opposite of what "autohide" is supposed to do: It auto-unhides and
doesn't hide itself automatically.
EXPECTED RESULT
The panel is supposed to automatically hide and to remain hidden when not in
use.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
It seems to work better in a Wayland session, but KDE with Wayland still needs
to come a long way before it has matured enough to be used. I really wanted
Wayland but there are way too many issues, so I had to go back to X11.
