My setup is: *) Main panel on left side of screen - still visible *) Second panel on bottom - align to center, automatically hidden After each start of plasma, the bottom panel is not automatically hidden, but stays visible. I have to move mouse over the panel. When I move mouse away, panel is finally hidden. I don't need to click on it. I have only one screen setup. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a new panel and set is as "Auto hide" 2. Restart plasma shell Actual Results: Panel remains visible. Expected Results: Panel is automatically hidden.
I can confirm this. I added a left panel and a bottom panel, set them to auto-hide. The bottom panel isn't hidden initially.
there is one pixel gap in between screen edge and panel.. I fixed it at on point for right aligned panel now it is broken for bottom panel.. Will take a look...
Any update on this? Latest Plasma 5.5.3 and still does not work correctly.
Hi Marian, yes "problem" still exists, also with Plasma 5.5.3. regards Wulf
addition: I have three auto hide panels: left, right, bottom; and one main panel (top, no auto hide)
I can also confirm this bug. I just reinstalled a clean Kubuntu 15.10 and the issue happens all the time.
16.04 -- still happening! I will carry the fixer of this bug on my shoulders around the town square.
I don't know, if it is connected or this is a separate issue, but when I enable active borders (allows switching desktops by mouse move over border), hidden panels newer rise up when I come close to border.
For what it's worth, as a workaround I set up a desktop-login script using xdotool to hide my panels just after login: #!/bin/bash sleep 3 xdotool mousemove 2534 1445 mousemove restore mousemove 1920 2032 mousemove restore (obviously the sleep time and mouse locations would need to be customized for a given desktop)
Still the case with Plasma 5.7.4.

For me it still happens with Plasma 5.9.5.
Can't reproduce in: Plasma: 5.12.2 Apps: 17.12.2 Frameworks: 5.43.0 Qt: 5.10.1 Kernel: 4.14.22-1-MANJARO OS: Netrunner Rolling Video: Intel 4400 xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+812+g75795523-1 Screen: 1600x900
I can still reproduce on Plasma 5.12.3 with active borders on. Panel is not hidden on start, it hides on mouse over. But never rise up again. Plasma: 5.12.3 Apps: 17.12.2 Frameworks: 5.43.0 Qt: 5.9.4 Kernel: 4.15.4-gentoo OS: Gentoo Video: Intel integrated, 4th generation x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.99.917_p20171018 Screen: 1920x1080 Could be a Qt issue? I've no 5.10 available yet.
A lot has changed since this bug was filed. Is it still reproducible for you in Plasma 5.24 (the latest LTS version) or 5.25 (the latest version, period)? I can't reproduce it FWIW.
Bug is not happening for me in Kubuntu 22.04.
Awesome, thanks.
