Description Eric Edlund 2022-01-14 00:10:04 UTC
SUMMARY
When I put my 2-in-1 in tablet mode and rotate the screen, the panel is shown. The panel is set to "auto hide" and the target behavior, I believe, is not to have it always visible in tablet mode.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. Panel set to "autohide"
1. Fold to tablet mode
2. Rotate

OBSERVED RESULT
Panel is shown

EXPECTED RESULT
It isn't

Can confirm.
Comment 2 kim 2022-01-15 10:11:03 UTC
The same happens also:
* after lockscreen  ends.
* energy save ends

I would guess that it has to do with multi-screen discovery, but it is annoying with only one screen.
Comment 3 Fushan Wen 2022-01-15 14:24:57 UTC
It's reproducible on both X11 and Wayland.

Comment 10 Andrej Halveland 2023-12-28 11:22:46 UTC
This has been bugging me for some time now. It is especially annoying when you setup automatic switching between refresh rates when on a battery and when plugged in.

Can be easily reproduced via simply changing the refresh rate either through System Settings or through kscreen-doctor.

This is on Plasma 6 Beta 2.

Relax constraints for screen edges reserved by windows

At the moment, if the workspace extends or shrinks by an output, the
hidden panel will be shown. It doesn't make sense in all cases.

Furthermore, no screen edge will be reserved if the layer surface has
some margins.

To address that, allow "floating" panels reserve screen edges and also
make kwin try harder to preserve window edges if the output layout
changes.

shell: Don't show the panel temporarily on new screen

Screen edge constraints have been relaxed so the panel doesn't need
to issue a hide request on new output anymore.
