Description Bryan Cebuliak 2011-12-02 20:53:32 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

Esc button  must  be  used  to close the plasma dashboard if it  overlies an auto hide panel. The  mouse click over the "x" does not work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Place auto hide  panel on  top edge. Open dashboard. Try closing dashboard with  mouse.

Actual Results:  
Dashboard stays up unless  esc  button  is   pushed.

Expected Results:  
Dash board  closes   with   mouse click on "x"
Comment 1 Thijs 2011-12-03 11:48:31 UTC
confirmed for 4.8b1. Funny, because most of the panel autohide bugs are gone by now i thought
Comment 2 Aaron J. Seigo 2011-12-03 13:09:24 UTC
this only happens with compositing on and is due to the glow proximity
detection window .. this needs to be made into a kwin effect. CC'ing Marting
since he will need to be consulted on the fix ...
Comment 3 Aaron J. Seigo 2011-12-03 13:09:48 UTC
.. and now ACTUALLY cc'ing Martin ;)
Comment 4 Marco Martin 2011-12-03 18:33:26 UTC
if it's in the last pixel, even as a kwin effect wouldn't work yet, is something that x can't really do (being notified about mouse reaching a place without putting a window under it) so would be upstream/wontfix

Note this  behaviour does  not  occur  for me on KDE 4.6.5 [Debian Sid].

 A  work  around for a  mouse  control is   to configure another active
 screen edge to  opening/closing the dashboard in  kde system settings

Comment 7 Martin Flöser 2011-12-04 08:12:05 UTC
I think Marco is quite right, so this is a RESOLVED WAYLAND where the compositor can pass the events through.
Comment 8 Thijs 2011-12-04 10:26:32 UTC
But is it really in the last pixel? The 'close' marker is well below this last pixel for me. And similar click-through-the-blue-shadow bugs have by now been solved. I get the feeling that the whole set of dashboard bugs, including this one, is related to the z-coordinate and focus of the dashboard.
Comment 9 Bryan Cebuliak 2011-12-04 11:02:17 UTC
Oops. This  behaviour is in 4.6.5 too with compositing [krender] on.
But  not  with it off.

Comment 10 SP 2012-12-02 20:42:17 UTC
This bug still exists in KDE 4.93
Comment 11 SP 2012-12-06 00:00:10 UTC
 If the user has their panel at the top of the screen then the "Widget Dashboard" icon will not allow an exit. Clicking on it has no effect. It will work if the dashboard has been opened and then the widget dashboard icon is clicked BEFORE anything else on the dashboard. Additionally, if the News widget is open on the dashboard and a link on it is clicked to open in a browser window and the user then clicks the widget dashboard icon it will exit to the desktop. So the problem seems to be related to focus (as  Thijs mentioned 2011-12-04 10:26:32 UTC ). 
It would surely be desirable to be able to configure the dashboard so that the exit icon could be moved to the bottom or the side of the screen - or at least have the bug fixed so that it works regardless of where it is placed.
Comment 12 rockonthemoonfm 2013-06-25 22:11:21 UTC
I can confirm this bug is still reproducible in 4.10.4, but only when panel is at the top edge of the screen in auto-hide mode and the dashboard is in "show desktop" mode.
Other scenarios look like working as expected.
so this bug has a duplicate in  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301915

Hello!

This bug report was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this bug is already resolved in Plasma 5.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this bug report. If the issue described  here is still present in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!

Nate Graham
