Description Gunter Ohrner 2016-02-20 10:51:36 UTC

I use an autohidden panel at the bottom of the screen which contains an application starter, lock / logout buttons and the calendar and clock widget. (See screenshot.)

After switching to Plasma 5.5.4, I could not get this panel to hide any more. I also switched it a few times between "display always" and "auto hide" and moved it to different borders of the screen to no avail. Another autohidden panel I had in the top-left corner of my screen still worked fine.

I ended up recreating my panel and removing the original one - the new panel will correctly autohide, as expected.

Thus maybe this report is pointless, but I just wanted you to know in case you may have an idea what could have caused this and it can be fixed for other users.

Reproducible: Always

Can you run "xprop" and click on the panel please.

Comment 3 Gunter Ohrner 2016-02-21 00:38:30 UTC

Unfortunately I cannot - as stated above, I already recreated the panel (which now works as desired) and discarded the original one. :-(

Maybe I should have waited for a reply hier for a few days, I honestly I didn't expect such a quick response and thus just tried to get it working again as quickly as possible...

As stated above, I currently do not know what additional info I could provide.

Have you encountered this bug later/currently?
