Shows background grid when latte dock hides

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set any of the following, autohide, dodge active, dodge maximised, dodge all windows.I'm using a dock on the left of the screen (not sure if that's relevant. Always visible and windows go below will not show the problem.

2. Adjust your windows i.e maximise or maximise and make focus. The dock should hide. Instead what it does is show the background grid (in brown) from top to bottom so you can't see the left hand side of your maximised window.

See attached picture. Problem is 100% reproducible. Problem only appeared today after upgrade to 5.18.2

How Dock normally looks

Thought I'd add a snapshot of what the dock normally looks like when windows are not maximised and dock is then not forced to autohide.

What Plasma Theme are you using?

2. If you enable compositing mode from plasma systemsettings, Screens, Compositor is the issue reproducible?
Comment 4 Nick 2020-03-01 21:57:32 UTC
Compositing was already enabled.

I am using Oxygen so I switched from Oxygen to Breeze in both plasma global theme & plasma style and the Dock started to behave correctly !

I then switched both plasma style & plasma global theme back to Oxygen and the Dock continues to work correctly :-)

I'll monitor over the next few days and after a few reboots & let you know if it is now ok.

Actually although the compositor was enabled there was a message about it having crashed in the past and I ok'ed that message for the compositor to restart. I'm now getting some nice shading around windows that I don't remember seeing before.

So there is a distinct possibility it was because the compositor was not running... maybe.
Comment 6 Nick 2020-03-02 17:14:09 UTC
LatteDock is working as it should do since I restarted the compositor.
