I have Plasma panel on the top edge of my screen, which is set to be "Always Visible". When I press Alt+F2, KRunner always shows up right under it, also on the top edge. It gains focus and it is usable, however I just can't see what I'm typing. Other windows (e.g. Chromium or Dolphin) respect that option (e.g when I maximize window). Reproducible: Always

Reassigning to KRunner. From KWin side there is not much we can do. KRunner uses the PlasmaShellSurface protocol to request a position. This is honored by KWin. The base assumption of the protocol is that the window knows what it does in a better way than KWin does. I'm not exactly sure what we can do here. I see two general possibilities: 1) Ensure that KRunner will be opened on top of the Plasma panel 2) Make KRunner track window geometries and struts, that would probably require some more extensions to PlasmaWindowManagement to make struts announced and wrap it nicely in KWindowSystem @Kai: what do you think?
Created attachment 101166 [details] Plasma 5.7.95 update Ping! With Plasma 5.8 Beta 1 it's even worse: the KRunner window apparently became smaller and now it completely hides under the panel. It is even impossible to say whether it has shown up or not (apart from typing and hoping that it got the focus).
Apparently, this is not an issue anymore (checked with Plasma 5.9.1)
Hi! The exact same issue now happens in wayland session. X11 is fine. Should I open another ticket for that?
