Description PK 2017-08-08 07:32:35 UTC

In the top of my screen I have an autohiding panel with the global menu widget. When I use e.g. Dolphin and approach the top of the screen with the mouse-pointer the panel, with menu, shows up as it should.
If I do nothing with the global menu it disappears again just as it should. But when I tough the global menu and after that close Dolphin the panel doesn't autohide.

Sorry for the typo:
It should read;
But when I touch the global menu and after that close Dolphin the panel doesn't autohide.

I changed autohide and global menu for 5.11
I can't reproduce this bug myself. 

Can you test when you get 5.11 and reopen if it's still an issue.

Thank you for the great work! It is easy to see that the whole thing behaves a lot better in 5.11. 
But e.g. with Krusader and global menu widget (active) the upper panel shows up unwanted sometimes and it remains too long after being used. But it all became much better.

top panel doesn't autohide

As you can see in my attachment my top-panel often won't autohide again this morning. And I configured it to autohide. The whole thing feels very buggy. When I try to arrange the widgets of the top-panel in a different way plasma-wayland crashes all the time. 
And the global menu won't do anything at all (under plasma-wayland). I am using Neon Developers edition (plasma 5.11.90)
