SUMMARY The panel works fine if you leave it at the bottom (Windows 95) style, but if you put it at the top (Apple style) then want it auto-hide or to get covered, neither of those work. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Move panel to top. 2. Set it to auto-hide and (another time) for windows to cover. 3. Make windows large enough to cover and move the mouse off the panel if necessary. OBSERVED RESULT Panel won't get hidden/covered. EXPECTED RESULT Panel should get hidden/covered regardless where it is.

I'm afraid the "Windows Can Cover" Panel visibility mode has been removed for Plasma 6 and we aren't planning to bring it back. In its place, we plan to implement an "intelligent auto-hide" or "dodge windows" mode, per Bug 349785. This should hopefully be much better than "Windows Can Cover" ever was, and offer support for its use cases. Thanks for your understanding!
