Created attachment 154221 [details] Floating panel with no maximised window SUMMARY The default behavior of floating panel where they maximize and stop floating if there is maximized window should not be applicable for panels which have either "auto hide" or "windows can cover" option checked. Ideally that should apply to panels which are always visible an have reserved space on screen. But if panel is auto hiding, then they don't have any reserved space on screen and it make no sense to stop these panels floating for maximized windows. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create new panel 2. Check Auto Hide or Windows can Cover option 3. Floating Panel option 4. Open any window (not maximised) 5. You will see good floating panel 6. Maximise the window and take cursor to edge of screen to reveal the panel 7. You will see ugly Maximized panel OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
