Description Marian Kyral 2017-01-28 13:45:13 UTC 
My setup:
*) One always visible panel on left
*) One autohide panel on bottom
*) Four desktops in configuration 4x1

The autohide panel works as expected. But as soon as I change option "Desktop behavior/Screen Edges/Switch Desktop on Edge" to "Always enabled", the bottom panel never shows. 
I can switch desktops by moving mouse to left or right edge of the screen, but moving mouse to bottom edge never rise up the hidden panel. It stays inaccessible. I have to switch off the "Switch on Desktop Edge" option to be able rise up access the hidden panel.

This is probably connected with bug #356516

"Switch Desktop on Edge" does not respect the desktop layout. Always Enable assumes you want to use all four edges to switch desktops. In a 4x1 or anything x1 layout, top and bottom screen edges have nothing to switch to and should not be active (as it worked in KDE4).

Expected behavior: top and bottom edges NOT enabled for 1 row of desktops; left and right edges NOT enabled if rows=desktops.
