Description Panagiotis Papadopoulos 2011-03-05 19:17:12 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

When adding Notifications widget to a panel, the panel does not automatically hide anymore, even if you remove the Notification widget.
The panel will simply be visible all the time and ignore any settings concerning its visibility.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create a new panel, set the Visibility to “Auto-Hide”.
You will see, that the panel disappears, when the cursor leaves the panel.

Now add the Notifications widget.
Moving the cursor away from the panel now does not make the panel disappear anymore, like it should


Expected Results:  
The panel should be hidden, when the cursor leaves the panel.

Is this still valid for KDE 4.8.3 or trunk?

Hello! Plasma 4 was replaced by Plasma 5 four years ago by the KDE community. In that time we have made great strides in stability and functionality. We are closing all Plasma 4 bugs as most of them are no longer applicable to the new frameworks Plasma 5 is built upon. If you could, please re-test with the latest version of Plasma 5, and submit a new bug to "plasmashell" if you continue to have an issue. Thank you!
