In KDE4, panel with "Windows can cover" option would be covered by windows until the mouse is placed near the screen edge. This is useful to obtain a dock-like behaviour. This doesn't work with plasma 5. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set "Windows can cover" option for a panel 2. Open a fullscreen windows ==> panel is covered 3. Bring mouse to the panel screen edge Actual Results: Panel is not shown. Expected Results: Mouse cursor proximity is detected and panel is shown.

This bug affacts me too. This is definitely a bug. How is it still not yet confirmed after all this time since Plasma 5 was released?
Tested, it doesn't raise on activation of the screen edge. Confirming. >How is it still not yet confirmed after all this time since Plasma 5 was released? It's only been a week since this was reported. If you want to ease the stress on developers please go through some of the other unconfirmed bugs and comment on them.
OK thanks will do. I know it's a recently reported bug but I reported the same bug and then right after this one got reported mine got marked as duplicate bug. Here's where I reported it before https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342314 I as well as many other really appreciate the work put into KDE. Thanks and God bless.

This annoying bug still persists in Plasma 5.2.1
Still in 5.2.2, kubuntu Vivid beta 1
*** Bug 346518 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Still in 5.3 beta for vivid. I think this is the kind of small problem which stop people to move towards kde5. It is not blocking by itseldf but with multiple other small one, the workflow is broken and people are staying under kde4. One of the things I never understood with the move to kde4 and the same is happening with kde5 is that you cannot have the two environment in parallel. This is, in my point of view, a major mistake. Because the only possibility to try kde5 is to install it in a virtual image so I am doing some very fast and easy test. I am trying to report the bugs I can find an after I am stopping the use for 6 months and the next release. The other option is to install gnome or unity and do the test but after some time when I will get used to the other environment why bother changing again?

I could also cite You in another "small one show stopper" bug# https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341959
Thanks developers to do huge amount of work on Plasma5. The problem exist on Fedora 22, too.
I am sorry if I seem negative. Plasma5 is beautiful and I hope that it will achieve the same level than kde4 and it is why I am filling bugs also. I think I am more disapointed with the distrib which does not give the choice between two different versions of the same desktop in parallel than with the developer. It is a little bit like the egg and the chiken.
+1 for this bug. This and Bug 217560 basically render all forms of panel auto-hiding useless to me, which is really annoying, since I really don't want to have a panel shown all the time taking up screen real-estate.
Same issue here...
Still a issue on 5.3.2.
(In reply to David Edmundson from comment #3) > Tested, it doesn't raise on activation of the screen edge. Confirming. Did you already look into the reason, ie. whether the panel forgets to cause a screen edge in kwin (like the autohiders), forgets to react on the trigger signal or no trigger signal is sent/received at all?
Yes, I've looked into it. The code is simply completely missing in the 4.x to 5.x code when the edge handling went into Kwin. I have a patch ready, will put on review this afternoon.

This is great news thank you very much. I amc rossing my finger to have that available for next version. Thanks again.
Thank you! Keep us updated please.
Thanks. Any hope for *.debs (ppa maybe) for kubuntu?
Did the patch work?
The patch is being reviewed here: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/124272/
Ok thank you.
It is not working in plasmashell 5.3.2. on arch linux, still :( Can some1 explain to me pls why the same bug on kde4 was marked as duplicate of this bug when this is report for plasma 5 and that was report for kde4? I'm new here so anyone who can explain me that would be nice.
(In reply to Tom from comment #23) > Can some1 explain to me pls why the same bug on kde4 was marked as > duplicate of this bug Which bug should that be? Two bugs have been marked as dupe for this and both were reported against KDE5.

Hey how's that patch coming along? It says last updated July 6.
Will this bug is fixed in version 5.4?
It seems that the patch is still under revision so perhaps this bug will be resolve for the version 5.5.
I hope fixed the bug in 5.4.1 or soon. Thank you for developers.
I tested latest stable Plasma in the Kubuntu Willy beta 2 and the bug its still alive.
(In reply to juan.breanca from comment #31) > I tested latest stable Plasma in the Kubuntu Willy beta 2 and the bug its > still alive. It is normal the bug is still in review mode with one open issue. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343448#c21

Use KWin to lower/raiser panel in windows can cover mode with edge activation Use KWin to lower/raiser panel in windows can cover mode with edge activation like autohide does. This means if you have a maxmised menu you can still open the panel by moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen M +15 -9 shell/panelview.cpp M +1 -0 shell/panelview.h http://commits.kde.org/plasma-workspace/80bdf99d7b9cc90afc2b32f086ca151cc7829fe6
Great thank you very much.
