Since the update to plasma 5.6 full screen windows go below the panel although it is set to "always visible". Please note that this is with a single monitor setup! This did not happen with plasma 5.5.x. Not sure if kwin is the correct component or it should better be reported against plasmashell. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set panel to "always visible" 2. open some window, e.g. konsole 3. click on the maximize button Actual Results: window goes below the panel, e.g uses the full screen Expected Results: Window should cover the whole screen except the panel
Please open konsole, run "xprop > panel.props", click the panel and attach the "panel.props" file.

Created attachment 98424 [details] xprop > panel.props for my single monitor panel hiding fullsize windows I've got the same problem, having my panel on top of the screen wich hides menu bar from maximized windows. It has nothing to do with a dual monitor setup in my case.
