Created attachment 188016 [details] screenshot of the taskbar and game SUMMARY Not entirely sure where else to report this bug since I'm running the Windows build of Dosbox inside Proton. This is only necessary since I'm also running Goldbox Companion which has no corresponding Linux build. TLDR is that if you launch the portable Windows build of Dosbox which comes with any Goldbox game that's normally shipped by GOG using Goldbox Companion the taskbar is no longer able to hide. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set taskbar to autohide 2. Download the GOG release of Goldbox Companion 3. Download a supported title like "Pool of Radiance" 4. Launch GBC using GEProton10-27 or 9-27 5. Make any necessary Dosbox configuration changes then launch the game (disable cursor lock, run in windowed, etc) 6. Once the game is up and running create a save 7. Navigate back to Goldbox Companion Window and select the save letter, then press search. 8. Once GBC is able to find the game it will automatically mount the corresponding windows (automap, etc) to the Dosbox window. 9. The taskbar which has been set to autohide is no longer able to hide. OBSERVED RESULT The taskbar is no longer able to hide. EXPECTED RESULT It should hide just as it was before GBC locked onto the Dosbox save. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 43 KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.21.0 Qt Version: 6.10.1 Kernel Version: 6.17.12-300.fc43.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core Processor Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (31.0 GiB usable) Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The only way around for this is by disabling "Unhide when a window wants attention" under Icons-Only taskbar settings OR by creating a Windows Rule which allows the application to skip the taskbar. I've also had some limited success by bringing up the "Panel Configuration" menu then immediately exiting Edit Mode.
