Most of the time/trails, the "Alternatives" menu does not open, when i set the panel to hide.
For me Alternatives menu doesn't open for just one time - after it Panel stops autohiding and Alternatives menu invokes every time 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 Video: Intel 4400 xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+812+g75795523-1 Screen: 1600x900
"Alternatives..." popup never shows up here with "Auto-hide" panel. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0 Qt Version: 5.12.2

Similar issue on Plasma 5.19.2 (KDE neon) When I click on "Show alternatives..." in an item on an auto hide panel, a pop-up window just flashes and disappear as the panel auto hides. This is true for clock, task manager, app menu, etc. It work fine if say I first click on the clock to open the calendar and then right click on the clock to "Show alternatives..." as the open calendar window prevents the panel from hiding.

A little more info. Using the Auto hide panel I found I can work around this with- A right click on the panel and then enter the edit mode. This allows me to choose the alternatives and even choose a different launcher as mentioned in bug #443853 The edit mode (right click on the Desktop) does not work as this does not bring up the panel edit options, which I would guess is correct.

This has been fixed with the Panel code refactor in Plasma 5.25!
Just updated to 5.25, Thank you for fixing this..
Created attachment 150213 [details] It does not appear to me that this issue has been resolved.
That's strange, it's working fine for me. Differences between our setups are that I'm using Wayland on physical hardware, and you're using X11 in a VM. This probably means that the general bug has been fixed, but there's still something specific to your setup that causes it to fail, beyond the original issue. Can you file a new bug report for that? Thanks!
My previous "fixed" comment #13 was in Wayland. I just went back to x11 (for various reason's) and physical hardware and sadly it does not work every time. I would say 50% of the time. However as I posted in comment #10 it does work fine in edit mode and x11.
The issue is still there with 5.26 running X11 on physical hardware.
I can also reproduce on X11 session of neon unstable.
Works for me on Wayland. This is probably going to end up as one of those "use Wayland for a better experience" things. The X11 session is gradually becoming unmaintained as more and more developers and users switch to Wayland.

I think the main reason many still stay with X11 is that any apps that use qtwebengine and maybe qtwebkit have real problems, Kmail, Kontact, Falkon for example are unusable and sadly many are moving away from those. I read somewhere these are QT issue's and I have since lost the bug QT bug report's :( There are a few on bugs.kde still open with dupes example bug 397825 This is way way off topic for this bug, it was just FYI.
