SUMMARY Dock does not show up when you move the mouse to the bottom edge of the screen. Not sure if it's relevant but this happens on a 4K display. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Visibility: Dodge All Windows/Auto Hide 2. "Activate KWin edge after hiding" ticked OBSERVED RESULT 1. Move the mouse to the bottom edge (outside dock). Edge is highlighted and dock shows up. 2. Focus few windows (alt+tab) 3. Move the mouse to the bottom edge (outside dock) and edge is not highlighted anymore and dock does not show up at all. If I move the mouse in the dock area it shows perfectly fine. EXPECTED RESULT Dock should always show up when you go to the edge of the screen. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 19.04 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.62 Qt Version: 5.12.2
untick "Activate KWin Edge after hiding" and run Latte from terminal with: latte-dock -d --graphics make a screenshot when Latte is hidden and send it back

I attached the screenshot you requested. Thanks!
based on the screenshot, Latte is placed correctly at the bottom, 1. so when you move your mouse at the bottom green line Latte is not showing? 2. Does this happen only at the Bottom edge? the other edges work ok?
Latte is showing if I move the mouse inside the green line, somewhere between the start and end point of the green line. But If I move the mouse outside the green line but still at the bottom edge of the screen, latte remains hidden.

The green line you see it is the exact same size with dock that is hidden.

Created attachment 123028 [details] no highlight
I uploaded 2 more screenshots. As you can see in the first image, the bottom edge is highlighted but only across the dock width. In the second image you can see that the cursor I still at the bottom of the screen but outside the latte width and does not trigger to show.
But sometimes it shows for the entire edge. Guess that's the bug actually? :) Just wanted to work like it does on OSX. Much easier to move the mouse to the edge and you don't have to know where exactly the dock is positioned. It just shows up.
Created attachment 123030 [details] i managed to make it show if move the mouse anywhere across the bottom edge but the behaviour is not "sticky", just stops working after awhile
It has been designed to work only with length as big as the actual panel/Dock. Alternative way is of course is to call it with Meta key from your keyboard.
