*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 394119 *** This seems different to #394119 (I am the submitter of that bug) In #394119, the panel will successfully autohide after all windows wanting attention have received focus. The issue there is that workflow is disturbed by having to focus other windows to re-hide the panel. In this bug, OP describes that autohide remains broken even _after_ all windows have received focus. A restart of plasmashell is required to reset the panel. This bug might be solved by an accepted solution for #394119, but the behaviour is definitely distinct and separate. I changed the status back to 'Reported' because I never experienced the specific behaviour described by OP, and noted that this bug may depend on #394119 OP: you could try `killall plasmashell; sleep 3; kdeinit5_wrapper plasmashell` and see if that works as a less intrusive kludge to temporarily fix the issue. You could also try my patch from #394119 which completely prevents the panel un-hiding when windows want attention. I have seen this bug in an older version of Plasmashell, on Arch Linux. Not sure what triggered it, but often the autohide just broke so that no matter what was done, the panel just would not autohide. Sometimes (but not always) there were various other glitches with the panel (such as: system tray icons breaking in various ways, or sometimes the panel would just hang). However sometimes behaviour described by OP was the only issue, I've definitely seen it. And the other issues might have just been separate / by chance, but I got the gut feeling they most often coincided. However these buggy, clearly broken (i.e. not working as programmed / intended), were gone after some upgrade. Currently using plasmashell 5.15.5 on Arch Linux, perhaps openSUSE is lacking behind? OP: Considering my above hypothesis is right: can you test a newer version on OpenSUSE? Have you reported this at OpenSUSE bug tracker? Bug #394119 is certainly a separate issue, as it is about issues with autohide even when it is working as intended by the programmers / design (which is broken IMHO). as above Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.

For more information about our bug triaging procedures please read the wiki located here: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! Actually, this report only ever existed because I didn't stumble into Bug 394119. When marked as a duplicate 2 years ago, this ought to have been closed out. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 394119 *** I unmarked it as duplicate, see my comment #2 ;) (In reply to triffid.hunter from comment #8) > I unmarked it as duplicate, see my comment #2 ;) Fair enough. I reported this and I did, in fact, visit all my windows as an experiment and, nope, autohide didn't return. Still, when your bug was fixed, so was this. :) Anyway, "closed -- needed info" wasn't right but, in the end, I don't care a whole lot. |
