Slight overlap over the panel

Currently the activity switcher slightly overlaps the panel. This is rather inconsistent behaviour no other applet does this in general.
If this should indicate that the activity switcher is even on top of the panel, then there's no reason why it should not cover the entire left screen, but a small part of the panel.
If the activity switcher and the panel are on the same level then it shouldn't overlap any way. 

The only other place where behaviour like this is displayed are IIRC tooltips in plasma and the menu in the alternative kickoff layout.

the switcher is on a level on top of the panel.
but since the window and ui is the same as the addwidget ui, panels need to not be covered since must be possible to drag and drop on top of them
Comment 2 Philipp Stefan 2014-06-16 13:38:32 UTC
Well, then I'd say to do away with the overlap. If the panel must not be covered then this slight overlap makes no sense.
Comment 3 Ivan Čukić 2014-06-16 17:00:29 UTC
I think the point here is that it should have the top and bottom framesvg border removed.
Comment 4 Andrew Lake 2014-06-23 00:53:47 UTC
There's not much input to provide from the VDG side beyond confirming that the overlap exists and looks odd.

try to not use weird flags on the dialog

This makes the widget explorer and activity manager disable the proper borders and
align exactly to the panels, also uses the appear animation as everything else

there is still the possibility in which it gets the prong position one single time,
but this doesn't seem correlated to any flag it may have.
the actual problem is qt xcb applying window type and flags only a moment after the window
first appeared

We seem to have lost the blur now. Not sure which of those flags would have been responsible for that?

Ignore my last comment.
