panel not dodging full screen windows

This is reproduced on latest neon unstable. A `plasmashell --replace` also solves the problem

Unfortunately "Use the computer for a bit" is not going to be good enough to triage this bug. Can you do some experiments of your own to narrow down the circumstances under which the panel stops dodging windows? Some ideas:

- When an app is in "needs attention" state
- When a window is secretly touching the panel but this isn't visually obvious
- After moving the panel from one edge to another
- After moving the panel or its desktop do another screen
- After changing screen arrangements
- After maximizing or de-maximizing a window
- After entering or exiting full screen with a window

Thanks!
