Something tells me it's because of the feature that spaces the popup for other applets when panel is floating, but backfires for yakuake specifically.

Is that a de-floated floating panel? If so, does the problem go away if you make the panel not be floating anymore?

This is the one that comes by default, I'm not sure if there are options now. I'll try regular panel later and report back

yes, disabling floating removes the gap

Comment 6 Nate Graham 2024-02-05 20:32:30 UTC 
Thanks, can confirm.

At the moment I think this is effectively intentional, though I agree that it doesn't look great because Yakuake was clearly designed visually to be butted right up against something above it.

I can see two approaches to fixing it:
1. Allow windows like Yakuake to actually touch a floating panel even when it's floating
2. Modify windows like Yakuake's to conditionally look better when in this state where it's not actually touching a floating panel.

What do you think, Niccolò?

I think it should cause the panel to stop floating like every other window does when it's touching the panel, Yakuake is no exception here. (and fix the gap)
