Description Mark 2009-08-05 11:49:17 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Compiler:          gcc 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

Steps to reproduce: 
*add a new panel
*go to Panel Settings>More and choose Always visible + Autohide
*add a widget - eg. Notes/Browser,..
*lock widgets on desktop (don't know if this matters)

This way, I set up a note-taking widget.

Behavior A:
*have all windows minimalized
*move mouse over the panel, it pops out and I *can* click the Notes widget and write sthing.

Behavior B: 
*let a window(s) (browser,konsole) open -either maximalized/or normal- 
*click on the widget but it seems it can't get focus, i'm unable to write in it (tested w/ Notes,Browser)

Backtrace: 
I don't know how to provide any..

Thank you :)

ok, some more research..
*Locked/Unlocked widgets don't matter
*I was mistaken with Always visible AND Autohide, it's OR and the bug remains w/ all 4 choices from there (A visib, Autoh., Wind. go over, W. go under)
