Description Semyon Ivanov 2016-03-19 20:45:10 UTC 
If the panel is in "Windows Can Cover" or "Auto-hide" mode, panel will intercept mouse clicks in fullscreen games when the pointer is at the bottom of the screen (or where the panel is).

Also there's a panel UI glitch if mouse pointer is moved to the bottom of the panel in Windows Can Cover mode (as shown on the screenshot).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the panel to Auto-hide or Windows Can Cover
2. Launch any fullscreen game
3. Move mouse pointer to the place where the panel is located and click.

Actual Results:  
Game won't accept any mouse clicks until Alt-Tabbed out of it and back.

Expected Results:  
Game should have accepted mouse clicks and shouldn't have lost fullscreen window focus.

Multi-monitor config 1920x1080+1280x1024 with virtual screens aligned to the bottom.

Same problem. Tested on openSUSE 42.1 (Plasma 5.5) and Manjaro (Plasma 5.6). 2 screens config.

It's very problematic for games.
1. When I click on the panel "zone", the panel come in front of the full screen application.
2. I can't use the "automatic" scroll down when I put my cursor on the screen bottom. (or other edge if I have a panel behind) (very close to this Plasma4 bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217560)

Best regards,

Don't take into account my previous post, it was an option in the game, it's solved.

Sorry for trouble, best regards
