Description Maxilys 2005-11-17 14:41:51 UTC
Version:           3.4.92 (using KDE 3.5 (RC1) Level "a" , SUSE 10.0 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15-default

All of my panels are set to autohide but only one of them misbehaves. It's a small panel (25% of the left side of the screen) and what makes it "ill" is a bookmarks menu with nested sub-menus.

The bookmarks menu works fine and disappears when I click on it but then the panel remains stuck on screen *from time to time*. I have to make the mouse cursor enter and leave it several times or click in it in order that it reacts. If I browse my bookmarks a second time, it will react as expected and so on several times until it suddenly forgets to disappear.

This happens apparently only with the bookmarks menu. There are also 2 quick navigators and a link in the panel but none of the them have triggered its misbehavior --so far.

There is no animation nor delay set for my panels to disappear. I don't understand how one can stay on screen until I kick it several times with the mouse cursor.

please attach your configuration files for kicker. otherwise there is a near zero chance of me being able to duplicate this (or rather, even trying to)

Just for the record, my main kicker panel (bottom) also remained stuck yesterday... just once. I was over the taskbar (Taskbar 2) checking the behavior of the style I'm working on and when the mouse cursor left the panel, it didn't disappear.
Comment 9 camil 2006-04-25 18:08:38 UTC
Also happens sometimes here on kde 3.5.2 on my main kicker panel.
In fact, it has been happening for quite some time (atleast since 3.3.2 on x86).

os - gentoo
arch - x86_64
compiler - gcc 3.4.6
cflags - -Os -march=k8 -pipe

I am having a problem similar to this. I have just recently upgraded to the Mandriva 2007, by which I mean a complete re-install, not actually an upgrade. uname -a shows this: "Linux capone 2.6.17-5mdv #1 SMP Wed Sep 13 14:28:02 EDT 2006 x86_64 Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.20GHz GNU/Linux", and KDE version 3.5.4. KDE control center says: "Release: 2.6.17-5mdv", Machine: x86_64".

Before everything was great, no problems. Now even though I have the kicker set to "autohide", it doesn't really want to very often-- meaning that it does occasionally work, so I can't say its completely broken. But it is definitely "very lazy" ! :) 

What I have found though is if I wave the cursor down in the lower-left corner region, near the top of the kicker-panel when its displayed, I can usually find a spot that will make it go away. Somehow this seems like it is probably a clue to the actual underlying problem...??

The problem is annoying, and I'd love to have it fixed, but it is certainly not a show-stopper. If anybody knows what the problem is, I'm all ears, I'd love a fix! :)

Here's my kickerrc file:

Kicker is currently unmaintained, you can look to your distribution for help, however.
