Description Jiehong 2014-11-12 07:27:37 UTC 
In KDE 4.x, panels, when set to autohide, have a sliding animation when they appear and disappear.

In Plasma 5, they simply appear without animation.

Could this animation be ported as well? (and perhaps a way to control the time it takes as well).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set your panel to autohide;
2. Make it appear and disappear.

Actual Results:  
The panel will appear or disappear instantly, without any animation.

Expected Results:  
The panel should be sliding in or out, as it used to do so in KDE 4.x.

I can confirm, re-assigning to kwin.
Comment 2 Martin Flöser 2015-01-07 10:16:38 UTC 
properly reassigning to KWin.

Yes, that's a known limitation currently with the new auto-hide on panel.
