SUMMARY
TLDR:see either of attached videos

Setup description:
====================
On a system with 3 monitors. Many settings are tweaked.
| monitor-left | Primary | monitor-right |
Each monitor has identical panels, with one difference:
Left and Right Visibility - "Avoid Active"
Primary - Always visible.

PROBLEM:
On the Left or Right monitor if you panel starts doing its "Avoid Active" behavior (a window covers it in any way) it disappears forever. The only way I found to get it back is to change layouts back and forth.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have 3 monitors.
2. Create a panel and set it to Visibility = "Avoid Active"
3. Trigger the "Avoid Active" behavior (make a application Window cover that panel)

OBSERVED RESULT
Panel disappears forever

EXPECTED RESULT
Panel reappears when the Window losing focus, moving window to another monitor or pushing panel with coursor (I hope you know what I mean:)
