Description Waldo Bastian 2004-07-13 00:02:30 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

If you have an auto-hiding child panel at the left of the screen and a static main panel at the bottom of the screen, the child panel will, when it appears, overlap the main panel at the bottom left corner. This makes any icon that is placed on the left of the bottom panel virtually inaccessible because when you move the mouse towards it, the child panel will appear over it.

I would expect that the child panel adjusts its size to take the bottom panel into account, just like it does when the child panel is static.

i see this as a valid wishlist item, though this defeats one of benefits of autohiding panels... will have to give some though to how to prevent "focus stealing" between panels...

perhaps only allow unhiding if the mouse is not currently in a panel on an adjacent screen edge?

Comment 3 Rafal Maj Raf256 2005-03-25 00:27:03 UTC
Also I would like to see an option to decide with panel should go to the corner, main panel or child - see attachment, if we have vertical and horiconatal panells touching, and with no auto-hide, then the corner in with they intersect should be taken by with one?

In example (attachment) I would like to have the KStart icon in the corner, and the lower (main) panel to be pushed right, instead of Konsole icon in the corner, and child panel pushed up as it is now. Also, it was different before, this change was random (a bug).

Kicker is no more mantained and all bugs/wishes will not be fixed/implemented in KDE3. A list of the most interesting/unresolved issues which is still valid for KDE4 has been created. Before reopening old kicker bugs on KDE4 Plasma, please try the new KDE 4.3.1, check the current behaviour and, only if you find new bugs or if you need a particular feature, open a new bug report.

Remember that KDE 4 is a full rewrite of KDE 3 so some old features will not be re-implemented because the behaviour has be changed a lot on some sides.

Thanks for the comprehension and enjoy the new KDE 4!
