What would you think a proper solution for this? To have an Always Visible panel in that state is not possible. Plasma solves this by disabling the Always Visible state in that case and windows are put above, but Latte does not support Window Can Cover mode. Under X11 no other way is possible. So what you would consider a proper fix? (In reply to Michail Vourlakos from comment #1) > What would you think a proper solution for this?

I raised the point to explore the reason as to why the dropdown terminal would not drop behind the latte dock when vertical (but would work in front). Note: I do not understand the inner workings of X11 etc. However I noted, if the dock is centred the dropdown terminal operates, I did not realise there was a difference between a justified docker and a centred one. Your reply seems to indicate there is a difference which cannot be overcome due to X11 issues, therefore, I will just have to use the docker in Centred mode; unless I can assist you with investigating this as a bug? If you have found a workaround stick with it. My proposal is to not use Always Visible mode in your case, it is an X11 limitation and Latte would need a workaround in its code and I am not that keen to add it. |
