SUMMARY
Hey guys,
whenever I set a plasma/latte panel or dock to auto hide, the dock is not accessible anymore using the touchscreen. Moving with the finger to the edge doesn't make the panel appear.
This happens with the default plasma panels or panels/docks added using Latte. 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. add panel to workspace
2. set panel to auto-hide
3. try to make it visible using touch screen

OBSERVED RESULT
panel stays hidden

EXPECTED RESULT
panel should appear

Indeed. Perhaps we should automatically assign an edge swipe gesture for auto-hidden panels, so you can access it that way.

This is working for me now, which means it must have gotten fixed at some point since I was last able to reproduce the issue.
