Is this X11? On Wayland, the panel configuration popups seems to close after the Show Alternatives one appears (In reply to Niccolò Venerandi from comment #1) > Is this X11?

Panel Setings popup covers the options flyout of widgets on the right edge of the panel
Can confirm this still happens on Wayland. The big Panel Settings popup can't be moved or hidden, so it covers the settings of any widget on the right edge.
I was able to reproduce this on 6.1.3 (X11), where the tooltip for the system tray was hidden behind the panel configuration box The widget hover menu was also hidden I am not able to reproduce this in git-master (Wayland). All of the pop up menus now appear above the panel configuration pop-up. Natalie, are you still able to reproduce this on git-master? 🐛🧹 ⚠️ This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.

I also can't reproduce it on git master, should i bisect to find out what fixed it, so it can be backported to the next 6.1 bugfix release? Bisect led to: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/commit/a6886a3d1af88682e966d73fbb6c0b1f019b4b41 see also: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487640 can confirm on wayland and plasma 6.1.4 SUMMARY in the new "show panel configuration" overview the "panel settings" popup overlaps the widget-idividual popup that contains "remove / configure / show alternatives", when the widget coincidentally is near the "panel settings" popup. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. enter the show panel configuration menu. 2. try to interact with the "remove / configure / show alternatives" popup near the "panel settings" popup OBSERVED RESULT "panel settings" popup overlaps "remove / configure / show alternatives" popup. interaction ins therefore not possible. EXPECTED RESULT "panel settings" popup should either move away from or move behind the "remove / configure / show alternatives" popup.

"panel settings" overlapping "remove / configure / show alternatives" popup
That's different, Liz; this bug report is only about the "Show Alternatives" popup itself. Also cannot reproduce on git master in a Wayland session. Created attachment 173078 [details] panel-settings-popup overlapping remove-configure-alternatives-popup i don't understand why my reported issue is different? granted op Natalie is talking about a "Panel configuration po[p]up", but when you look at the attachment https://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=167907 she provided on 2024-03-29 01:23 UTC you can clearly see this is in fact a misnomer and actually refers to the "panel settings" popup overlapping the "remove / configure / show alternatives" popup. also Lyra's attachment shows thats this is supposed to be the issue here. one cannot argue that this issue here lies only in one of the two panels overlapping each other, when the problem is "two panels are overlapping each other". it might be that the _solution_ to the problem lies in only fixing one of them, but the problem is the relative behavior of two panels. even if one could treat it this way, my post does nowhere restrict itself on only one of the two popups but rather the problem that they are overlapping. so my post is very well facing the same issue OP reported, except mine is about a wayland session. actually this whole bug might be a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487640 The bug is no longer reproducible for me. |
