The menu of the newly created panel is obscured by the old one

When one creates a new panel and the new and the old one intersect  then these two can overlap each other depending on which one is focused. For example I have a panel at the bottom of my desktop. When I add another panel on the left screen edge then it is overlapped by the already existing one. This also means that the panel menu is obscured by the first panel, unless I click on the second, new panel first to give it focus. 

I think it would be sensible to not let the newly created panel span across the whole left screen edge on creation.

New panel overlaping the old

The panel menu button can be accessed after giving it the focus by clicking somewhere on the new panel. However, it then overlaps the new panel.

it's almost #332139
It's a thing tough I think any solution would cause far more damages than the problem
