Description Elias Probst 2015-09-09 05:45:15 UTC

When a panel is set to "autohide" and the "Alternatives" selection popup is active on one of the panel's applets, the panel isn't "pinned" to stay always visible.

How to reproduce:
- Set a panel to autohide
- add an applet which offers alternatives (e.g. "Application Launcher")
- rightclick on this applet and select "Alternatives"
- move the mouse now from the "Alternatives" popup to the panel and back

What happens:
- Once the mouse leaves the panel again, the panel disappears, leaving the popup alone on the screen without its original context

What should happen:
- As long as the popup is visible, the panel should never autohide at all

Running KF5/P5 from git + Qt 5.5.0

Don't autohide panel if a child window is open

Summary:
This is meant as a more generic fix for the autohide panels, actually
looking to see what transient windows we have open.

The problem with the current fixes (D6555) being posted is that we
potentially get attentionStatus in a corrupt status as we cache the
value but it might change externally whilst that window is open.

Also saves duplicating code in a bunch of places.

Test Plan:
Set autohide
Opened a context menu in task manager didn't autohide, till I closed it
Closing menu whilst keeping mouse in the panel doesn't auto hide it
until we move out after.
Hovering over TM tooltip keeps autohide from closing (another fix)
