The panel cannot be raised without clicking directly on it, in the case where it's set with "Windows can cover" and a window is against the same edge as that panel and "Switch desktop on edge" is "Always Enabled." Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add panel to left edge 2. Set panel to "Windows can cover" 3. Open "Screen Edges" and set "Switch desktop on edge" to "Always Enabled" 4. Put "Screen Edges" window (or any other) against the left edge, and try to raise the panel without clicking on it Actual Results: Nothing happens Expected Results: The panel is expected to be raised I expect someone will say that I'm unreasonable in trying to use these features simultaneously. To that I say: 1. I have a delay configured for the screen edges, so panels should be raised without conflict until that time is reached 2. I have no virtual desktops at these edges I'm trying to use the panel on

Clearly a corner case.

I'm afraid the "Windows Can Cover" Panel visibility mode has been removed for Plasma 6 and we aren't planning to bring it back. In its place, we plan to implement an "intelligent auto-hide" or "dodge windows" mode, per Bug 349785. This should hopefully be much better than "Windows Can Cover" ever was, and offer support for its use cases. Thanks for your understanding!
