SUMMARY When the dock is floating above the bottom, and is on autohide, whenever it raises up, it experiences clipping issues STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Turn on a margin 2. Turn on autohide 3. Bug OBSERVED RESULT Clipping mask on bottom, see this video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g9wumnjUARl7mzcjcohNB6lKZK_8zr03/view?usp=sharing EXPECTED RESULT No clipping mask SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kernel 5.4 Manjaro (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.66.0 Qt Version: 5.14.0 NA
I believe that this is not solvable and if I confirm it I will point you at the exact bug report that it is relevant. 1. Send your Latte layout file 2. Make again the video but first start Latte from command prompt with the following : latte-dock -d --graphics --kwinedges

At the second video do you observe the clip issue? At which second?
(In reply to Michail Vourlakos from comment #3) > At the second video do you observe the clip issue? At which second? It's harder to see here, because the graphics are covering it, but there is a white rounded box which has the shape of the dock cut out if it that is displayed and cuts off the dock whenever it is rising or hiding. It is fine the rest of the time

In general I think this is just https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398257 which is not fixable of course. There are graphics cards and drivers that play nicer with it under X11 environment. If this is correct then if you try in wayland then that clipping issue should not be observable...
BTW just to make sure... In your first video you had not updated your DashToPanel Indicators so that creates a sense of faulty clipping which is not valid because the indicators were outdated. If you still observe it you can try the following: 3. Create a new video that DashToPanel indicators are positioned correctly for floating and at the same time the video demonstrates the clipping issue. Tell me exactly at which second you observe the problem at your new video.
(In reply to Michail Vourlakos from comment #5) Hello, the show timer has no effect with it. It occurs every time the dock is raised/lowered. Mask is less of a correct word, its more like a white overlay that fits the shape of the lower part of the dock. It appears when raising, and lowering. It is a bit subtle, but very noticeable in person. Video is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OipxsfdlLxJBK654_byWoI67JIPRPQPb/view?usp=sharing
Ok one more time, having a white background window does not help. Please a new video that background is black in order to be able to notice the white area issue and mention also the exact second in the video that you notice it.
I can not observe the issue yet
