Description roland_wagner 2012-05-19 12:50:01 UTC

On my System (Archlinux, latest Updates, HP Compaq 8710p, nvidia graphics with proprietary drivers) the Panel is affected by the  "Placement"- Option in System Settings > Window Behavior > Window Behavior > Advanced when in autohide-mode. This makes the Panel appear in a different place everytime it unhides for it seems to be handled as a normal window. I.e. if the placementsettig is set to "intelligent" my leftsided panel appears a litte further to the right, everytime it unhides. 

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
The Panel shouldn't be affected by the "placement" option.

Which version of KDE is this about?

Comment 2 roland_wagner 2012-05-19 23:56:05 UTC

Thank you for the feedback.

Comment 4 Mauri 2012-05-25 19:06:49 UTC

I'm experiencing the same problem, with a panel on the top of the screen (without autohiding). When I connect an external monitor and change the resolution, the problem occurs after next login, placing the panel in the middle of the screen (well, not exactly in the middle, a little bit below).

KDE 4.8.3, Gento GNU/Linux 3.4, nVidia propietary graphic driver.

I use Kubuntu 12.04 and I currently have the same problem, if the panel is aligned at the top. The panel moves after every reboot in the middle of the screen. I use auto-hide, but even without auto-hide the problem occurs. Sorry for my bad english.

System: KDE 4.8.2, Linux 3.2.0-24, Nvidia proprietary graphic driver (nvidia-current 295.49-updates)

Hello! I have this bug on my Arch and sometime ago I had the same on Kubuntu. Also maybe it will be useful to know, that I have this bug only when I have skype or some it's dependences in my system.

System: KDE 4.9.0, Linux 3.5, xf86-video-ati
and KDE 4.6-4.7, Kubuntu 11.04, ATI proprietary driver.

Hello!

This bug report was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this bug is already resolved in Plasma 5.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this bug report. If the issue described  here is still present in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!
