SUMMARY
When a panel that hides automatically has an open applet, such as Zren's TodoList, it does not "follow" the applet animation and hides earlier than expected. The panel is hidden before the applet, which generates a strange effect because of the empty space that remains.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a panel and activate auto-hide 
2. Add an applet like the one I quoted
3. When the panel is hidden, move the mouse to display it and click on the applet
4. By clicking anywhere outside the applet or panel, they will be hidden asynchronously

EXPECTED RESULT
Ideally, they would hide at the same time

Cannot reproduce. In the Plasma 5.20 beta, the animations are synced up for me.
Comment 2 Podagric 2020-10-05 19:57:45 UTC
oops, sorry
in step 1 the correct would be to activate the option "windows can cover" (the third option in the visibility menu)
Comment 3 Podagric 2020-10-05 19:59:43 UTC
it is also necessary to have an open window over the panel. in the example video i used konsole but it happens with any other program
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2020-10-05 20:04:44 UTC
I'm a bit confused, because your video shows an auto-hiding panel. "Auto-hide" and "Windows can cover" are mutually exclusive.

The video appears to depict a lack of animation which would be Bug 426686, which was fixed with Plasma 5.20 (and I can confirm the fix).

Can you confirm what the issue is and what Plasma version you're using?
