Description Nicolas Vaughan 2018-03-29 17:58:43 UTC

How to generate the bug:

1. Create a new panel (empty, or whatever)
2. Select "auto hide" as an option
3. The panel hides after losing focus, and can never be displayed again

I have disabled touch screen gestures and screen edges options, but nothing helps. I have also deleted the files `plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc` and `plasmashellrc`, but nothing changes.

The only way I can use auto-hide panels is with a Latte-Dock panel.

cannot confirm on Arch, plasma 5.12.4.
I created an empty panel on top of my screen, auto-hide feature works as expected.

Me neither in KDE Neon dev unstable or Kubuntu 17.10 with Plasma 5.12.4.

Nicolas, if you're still able to reproduce this *in a clean user account on the same machine*, please report it to your distro. Thanks!
