Description Al Williams 2024-04-13 22:49:04 UTC

SUMMARY
Setting a panel to dodge (or, I think) hide sometimes doesn't work. At some point, the panel will just sit over windows and it won't go back down. The only fix I've found is to enter Edit mode (don't have to do anything) and then exit Edit mode.

There may be more than one trigger for this, but the steps below will definitely do it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have one or more panels set to auto dodge. Have a window open that hides the panel.
2. Kill plasma shell
3. Restart plasma shell
OBSERVED RESULT
 Observe panels are now over existing windows


EXPECTED RESULT
Panel should dodge existing window.

Cannot reproduce with current git master. Are you able to reproduce this at all in Plasma 6.1.4 or later?
