Description Thomas Meixner 2009-12-02 22:58:36 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)
Compiler:           arch binary 64Bit stock build (whole KDE suite)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

If the plasma panel in a dual screen setup is placed between 2 stacked up monitors, maximized windows will extend  below the plasma panel. This happens if the plasma panel is either at the bottom of monitor 2 or at the top of  monitor 1. (refer to drawing). Windows will only stop at the plasma panel border if the panel is either at the very top or very bottom of the stacked setup.

Monitor 1 is my main laptop monitor. The plasma panel usually is on the top. Monitor 2 extends to the top without any plasma panel since it's not always available.

Image shows in the above described scenario monitor 1 (1440x900) and a maximized window going below the panel. Monitor 2 (1920x1080) is located above Monitor 1.
