Widget Picker can't occupy space other windows are occupying

I'm getting this issue in neon5-201406271613. It seems that if a window is occupying the space that the widget picker usually occupies (the left side of the screen), the widget picker will move to the right of the window to free space (see picture). If you click the  add widgets button from the panel settings, the panel settings window takes up the whole screen horizontally. This makes the widget picker close because it can't move to the right of the panel settings.
Comment 5 Antonis G. 2014-06-28 16:09:13 UTC 
Its still not fixed. 
Place your mouse over the panel until the handle popup appears. Now click add widgets.
I think the situation enoop describes is a different bug which I can't reproduce.

The original bug seems to be fixed, now we're talking about explorer placement which is a different bug.

Marking as duplicate.

Yeah, I saw enoops bugs. This is different.
Comment 10 David Edmundson 2014-07-07 11:28:41 UTC 
Marco made a patch that should fix this invoking the widget explorer before we hide the panel.

Please reopen if you still get this.
