STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. One row of virtual (4) desktops 2. Panel at bottom of the screen, set to autohide 3. System Settings / Workspace Behavior / Screen Edges / Switch desktop on edge / Always Enabled 4. Move cursor to the bottom of the screen, the edge lights up as if to rotate, the panel will not unhide 5. Set Switch desktop on edge to Disabled, panel hides and unhides as expected. OBSERVED RESULT It appears the cube is trying to rotate to another row that does not exist and the panel will not unhide if Switch desktop on edge is enabled. Setting it to Disabled allows the panel autohide to function correctly. EXPECTED RESULT If there is only one row of Virtual Desktops, a panel on either the top or bottom edge should autohide correctly. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE Tumbleweed (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: all version 5 KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: 5.15 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This problem has existed since the beginning of Plasma 5; it worked correctly in Plasma 4. 2007028 1 iafilius 2021-02-27 08:58:39 +0000 Hi, a me too report, some additional info Using Ubuntu 20.10, amd64, included by distribution: plasma 5.19 Configured 3 virtual desktops in a row, and having 2 "Activities" Having a panel (from default) on the bottom, and another panel (form empty) on top. Setting those to autohide as described by reporter, the panels (auto)hide, but never unhide by any mouse action. The bottom panel (from default) can be tricked to show using the <windows>-key because has a shortcust to the menu in panel. The workaround as suggested by reporter: 5. Set Switch desktop on edge to Disabled, panel hides and unhides as expected. works for me too! thanks you for a proper workaround for this annoying bug. Just by diving in i found a way to set the unhide back to normal, when panel is in hiding state. this might help others: List desktop/and panel config, and extract index of panel you need to change: qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell org.kde.PlasmaShell.dumpCurrentLayoutJS set panel back to normal, using the index starting from 0 in panel list from above output, demo is with '0' but adjust to your needs: qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell evaluateScript "p = panelById(panelIds[0]); p.hiding = \"normal\" ;" 2009688 2 iafilius 2021-03-07 16:40:50 +0000 Hi, just tested issue with manjaro kde/plasma with plasma 5.21.1 and also there same issue. updated version and platform to manjaro (as with ubuntu I can't impossible test latest version without mucking up the whole system) not sure if product kwin is the right category shouldn't is be plasma ?? having this bug assign to kwin-bugs-null@kde.org looks like it's totally ignored right? can someone shed a light on that?
