Created attachment 87242 [details] 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.
Created attachment 87243 [details] 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.

This is effectively fixed as of Plasma 6.2 now when using "Fill space" mode. Panels using this mode (which is the default one) will avoid overlapping other ones on adjacent screen edges.

You don't believe how happy this makes me to hear! While mostly a visual annoyancy, having a fill space mode was what I have been dreaming of for a long time! Thanks a lot!

Like I said, it's fixed in 6.2. Also your screenshot depicts a different issue: Bug 477939.
