Currently it is not possible to adjust the auto hide sensitivity of your KDE panel. I find that it's a little too sensitive with whatever the default setting is, so having it set to auto hide reveals it far often than I'd care for. It would be wonderful if this feature would be implemented to rectify situations like this. Thank you!
Looks like duplicate to 267277, but I'm not sure how to mark it as such, maybe I do not have permisssions to do so.
