Can reproduce with the issue with this specific setup For me, the panels on the same side of the screen overlap even when both are set to "always shown". Created attachment 182442 [details]

panels automaticaly overlaps another one
same here: two panels should be side by side, but after 6.4 they overlap each other I talked with the developers, and unfortunately this was an intentional change. The problem is this: with the current infrastructure, it's impossible to support the use cases of "adjacent panels sharing a screen edge" and "stacked panels sharing a screen edge" at the same time. In Plasma 5, we only supported adjacent panels, but then later, starting in Plasma 6, we only supported stacked panels. That garnered a *lot* of complaining, so for 6.4, we went back to only supporting adjacent panels.

Prior to upgrading from 6.2 to 6.4, I had a nice classic Windows taskbar feel with a quicklaunch bar neatly stacked above it. Upgrading has forced me to either make my quicklaunch auto-hide, or put it on a different screen edge. I do hope the devs are able to combine both functions some day, and have some sort of toggle for individual panel behaviour. |
