Created attachment 122108 [details] Demonstration of the panel flicker bug SUMMARY I have an auto-hidden panel on the left edge of my screen. When I move the mouse to reveal the panel, the panel flickers for a moment. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set up an auto-hidden panel on the left edge of the screen (only happens on the left). 2. Move cursor to left edge of the screen so that it is over the task bar and reveals the panel (not reproducible if it is over the application launcher or configure panel icon) OBSERVED RESULT It looks like the cursor moves 1 pixel off the screen, then the panel shows, the cursor is moved 1 pixel to be back on the screen and the panel flickers for a moment. EXPECTED RESULT The panel shows without flickering or moving the cursor. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.60.0 Qt Version: 5.13.0 Kernel Version: 5.2.8-arch1-1-ARCH OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 driver: 430.40-4
I believe I have found the cause for this issue. I had a Touch Action enabled for the left edge (Toggle Window Switching). If I disable this, then the visual bug goes away. This solves my issue because I don't need that touch action enabled.
Thanks, moving to KWin, where the touch screen edge code lives.
