My panel is unusable when set to auto-hide: the panel is initially visible after logging in, but after the first time it decides to hide itself never returns. When I hover near where it should appear, I get the blue glow, but no panel. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in 2. Hover over panel and leave, to make it disappear 3. Marvel at the blue glow where a panel should be Actual Results: Blue glow. Tantalizing. Expected Results: My panel. D'oh.

Can you confirm your Plasma version. Also please attach your ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc as well as the output of xrandr -q
Also what if you try approaching the screen edge with various speeds? Is there any velocity that would reliably show the panel?
Thanks for the follow-ups, guys. For plasma's version, let me know what specific commands I can help with. Here are the relevant packages: plasma-breeze-5.5.4-1.fc23.x86_64 plasma-breeze-5.5.5-1.fc23.x86_64 plasma-breeze-common-5.5.4-1.fc23.noarch plasma-breeze-common-5.5.5-1.fc23.noarch plasma-desktop-5.5.5-1.fc23.x86_64 plasma-desktop-doc-5.5.5-1.fc23.noarch plasma-milou-5.5.5-1.fc23.x86_64 plasma-pa-5.5.5-1.fc23.x86_64 plasma-pk-updates-0.2-7.20160216git.fc23.x86_64 plasma-systemsettings-5.5.5-1.fc23.x86_64 plasma-workspace-5.5.5-2.fc23.x86_64 plasma-workspace-common-5.5.4-2.fc23.x86_64 plasma-workspace-common-5.5.5-2.fc23.x86_64 plasma-workspace-drkonqi-5.5.5-2.fc23.x86_64 plasma-workspace-geolocation-5.5.5-2.fc23.x86_64 plasma-workspace-geolocation-libs-5.5.5-2.fc23.x86_64 plasma-workspace-libs-5.5.5-2.fc23.x86_64 Here's the xrandr output: $ xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3840 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384 VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DVI-D-0 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 531mm x 299mm 1920x1080 60.00*+ 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 1152x864 75.00 1024x768 75.03 60.00 800x600 75.00 60.32 640x480 75.00 59.94 HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DVI-D-1 connected 1920x1080+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 531mm x 299mm 1920x1080 60.00*+ 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 1152x864 75.00 1024x768 75.03 60.00 800x600 75.00 60.32 640x480 75.00 59.94 I'm attaching the Plasma config file.

Martin, the problem is absolute ... speeds, directions, etc make no difference. Once the panel disappears, there's no way to get it back.
Any updates here? Anything I can help with? This still happens with the latest packets. By now I'm using: plasma-breeze-5.5.5-3.fc23.x86_64 plasma-breeze-common-5.5.5-3.fc23.noarch plasma-desktop-5.5.5-2.fc23.x86_64 plasma-desktop-doc-5.5.5-2.fc23.noarch plasma-milou-5.5.5-1.fc23.x86_64 plasma-pa-5.5.5-1.fc23.x86_64 plasma-pk-updates-0.2-7.20160216git.fc23.x86_64 plasma-systemsettings-5.5.5-1.fc23.x86_64 plasma-workspace-5.5.5-4.fc23.x86_64 plasma-workspace-common-5.5.5-4.fc23.x86_64 plasma-workspace-drkonqi-5.5.5-4.fc23.x86_64 plasma-workspace-geolocation-5.5.5-4.fc23.x86_64 plasma-workspace-geolocation-libs-5.5.5-4.fc23.x86_64 plasma-workspace-libs-5.5.5-4.fc23.x86_64
Folks, I've figured out what's going on here. It looks like by default, screen edges are disabled in KDE 5 (System Settings -> Desktop Behavior -> Screen Edges -> Switch desktop on edge). Once you enable desktop switching, the panel no longer pops up. If you disable it, the panel appears again. Looks like the edge detection logic collides with the panel trigger logic. Note that my virtual desktops are aligned horizontally and my panel is at the bottom, so there's no switching to do when I go near the panel. Anyway, case closed from my side, but a fix for this would obviously be welcome.
It is the same mechanism that does Plasma panels. Thanks I'll look into a fix.
