Ok I just realised that it's not a "bug" and it seems like it's just a change in panel behavior (?)

The panel used to pop up instantly when my cursor touched the edge of the screen but now it seems like I have to 
1. go to the edge of the screen.
2. move it along the edge of the screen for a moment.
Was this an intended?

(Just asking because I remember other similar cases of change in behavior which was a side effect of a different bug fix)

I see the same issue since the update to Beta 2, Beta 1 did not have this issue.

Comment 3 Andrej Halveland 2023-12-28 11:01:11 UTC

I kinda like this behavior to be honest.

It's at least useful when you have a button or something really close to the bottom where the auto-hiding panel also is, and with this change/bug/whatever you are less likely to accidentally open the panel when you didn't want to.

Marking as intentional since this was deliberately changed in https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/e5753ea33669813f2ba0cf23f28b4cf06ac259f3
