SUMMARY
Top placed panel latte docks covers desktop top right menu entry, leaving it partially not reachable.

1. Create a top latte dock panel

OBSERVED RESULT
The desktop top right menu entry is covered by the panel making it partially unreachable depending the panel height.

There is no Plasma technology to support this... I will forward later all the discussions concerning this.

Simplest solution in to specify margins for the desktop
Comment 2 Filipe Azevedo 2019-05-29 11:52:27 UTC 
Hm, i could live with a workaround - still did not find a way to add margin to desktop.
How does one do that ?

I have a commit that is providing the margins options for the desktop, but you need to patch Plasma, I don't know if you want to try it

In plus of this issue, I also noticed the latte panel is wrongly reserving geometry of a panel in ALL screens / monitors.
I'm usng a dial screen anv, and my primary screen top penal also register the same geometry on the second screen, render this area showing nothing but not usable as well (ie, a maximized window would not cover the area).

This is not possible, try with plasma panels and you will get similar results

Hm, i tweaked a bit the desktop settings (moved from Desktop to folder view and back to Desktop) and now it works fine, no wrong geometry reserved on others screens, let forget then until i can reliably reproduce it.
