Bug 473877

SUMMARY

Because of the forced behaviour of showing the panel when the mouse over toward the edge of the screen (where the panel is), it add bug (with screen edge functionality) and unwanted behaviour (unwanted by me at least and it can't be disabled)

- If the panel is at the top  of the screen (set as windows can cover), The screen Edges behaviour do not work as expected (the mouse need to be moved twice to the location to get the behaviour instead of once.

- The panel should have an option to disable its showing when the mouse get close to its location. it can be very unwanted to have the panel showing when trying to access the tabs of a maximised browser windows for examples.

- Removing the top screen edge behaviour make the panel work as wanted (not showing up with the mouse) until I forced it shown (keyboard shortcut).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start a wayland session (not tested on x11 yet)
2. Set your panel to the top of the screen (any size)
3. Set you panel to "windows can cover"
4. Hide title bars and boders
5. Open a web browser and maximize the window.
-> Window does cover the panel as expected.
6. Move your mouse at the top to access the edge of the window 
-> Panel shows up (undesired for some, an option should be available to disable it)
7. Mouse your mouse away 
-> Panel does not hide (focus is still on the browser window, that whdow should be on top of the panel) https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=453373
8. must click away from the panel to hide it (when really may have just wanted to click on a new tab)
9. In workspace behaviour, activate any/all the top screen edges behaviour (any behaviours)
10. move your mouse (once) where you expect the behaviour to be triggered
-> Panel shows up, but behaviour is not happening
11. Move your mouse again to the same place
-> Behaviour is happening
13. Click away from the panel so it hides
12. Disable the screen behaviour
13. mouve you mouse top of the screen
-> panel is not showing up (finally a wanted behaviour, but unconsistent with previous one)
14. Show the panel (keyboard binding)
15. Back at step 6.

OBSERVED RESULT
- No options to disable the edge of the screen where the panel is at triggering the panel showing.
- Screen Edges triggers not triggered well
- panel get in the way when the option is to make it not be in the way

EXPECTED RESULT
- Option to disable the mouse triggering the showing of the mouse (I understand it may be a desired behaviour for some and a more natural behaviour, hence an opt-out option).
- Screen Edges triggers should be as snappy as when the panel is always visible.
- Panel should stay out of the way if the user set it so.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- I believe those bugs are caused by the forced behaviour of showing the panel when the mouse get the screen edge.

- It is hard for a non experienced user to decide which application of kde-plasma does the panel comes under (search result for panel on that selection showed no result.
