SUMMARY Under Wayland, panel doesn't hide automatically when "Windows can cover" is enabled unless you click somewhere. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Run Wayland session 2. Run window (full screen, Firefox browser) 3. Hover over screen edge 4. Move cursor somewhere else OBSERVED RESULT Panel is hiding automatically after cursor moves away (as with "Always hide" option). EXPECTED RESULT Panel stays there until you click inside window. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Graphics Platform: Wayland Graphics Processor: AMD VEGAM ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I use Arch, btw
Hello, thank you for reporting this. I can reproduce it but I am not sure it is a bug. As explained in https://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/Panels/en#The_.22More_Settings.22_Menu, the function allows windows to cover the whole panel, if they are maximized. Why do you want the panel to stay even if you move the mouse away? Look at this report https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341325, is it similar to what you mean? Greetings
No, I think I mixed "observed result" and "expected result". What happens now is panel stays on top until you click somewhere inside window that is behind panel. So it acts like normal window BUT given that delay is quite small and you need to basically only touch screen edge so slightly, when you accidentally bring panel up, it just stays there and it is very annoying. What I meant is that when you don't hover over panel, it should go below window as it was until you made it focused. It is different from auto-hide because with "window can cover" panel doesn't hide when you don't have any windows on screen.
Okay, I know now what you mean and I am able to reproduce it. Sorry, I was not in Wayland at first. In X11 it works like it should. But in Wayland, as you say, the panel does not hide until you click somewhere in the window.

Yep, I was using X11 before and that's what I noticed almost immediately after trying Wayland so I resorted to "always hide option" for a while now.

It is not a duplicate of bug 430732. I don't have panel on an edge
Ok.
