Created attachment 104395 [details] Auto Hide Panel Frozen by Plasma Error Message Reproducibility: Always To reproduce: Under More Settings, set Visibility to "Auto Hide". Do something that causes a Plasma error message to be shown (e.g. create and open a new file, delete the file, then search for the deleted file in the Application Launcher and click the result). Expected: The error message window is displayed as usual, the panel hides itself and continues to work as normal. Actual: See screencap - the error message window is shown in the panel but is not displayed, and the panel freezes completely, making it unusable. Program windows that are already active continue to work, but it is impossible to access any other programs or anything else from the panel.
can't reproduce locally, can anybody else?
Workaround is to go to the active screen corner, allowing user to access the error message window.
I can confirm with plasma 5.10.5 and frameworks 5.37.0. I have to alt+tab and choose error msg window to unfreeze the panel
I can reproduce this beaviour in debian testing, mint 18.3 and latest kde neon 5.12.80
i cannot reproduce this behaviour in openmandriva lx 3 with - plasma 5.10.5 - kde framework 5.43.0 - qt 5.8.0
Cannot reproduce in: Plasma: 5.12.2 Apps: 17.12.2 Frameworks: 5.43.0 Qt: 5.10.1 Kernel: 4.14.22-1-MANJARO OS: Netrunner Rolling
i can reproduce it with manjaro Plasma: 5.12.2 Frameworks: 5.43.0 Qt: 5.10.1 Kernel: 4.14.21-1-MANJARO
Can reproduce with 5.8.7, framework 5.32.0 Other workaround: use alt-tab to browse through your applications, the error message will show up in the list. One can select & close it.
Is anyone able to reproduce this with Plasma 5.17?
