Created attachment 154257 [details] The panel in the top position is supposed to autohide but doesn't do that after system start SUMMARY *** In my plasma-layout there is a panel in the top of the screen. It contains the global menu widget and the system tray widget. This panel is meant to autohide. But after startup, when it shows itself, it forgets to autohide. "Touching" it will make it hide and even hovering over it will do the trick, but if you don't do that it will stay in it's place. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Use plasma-layout with autohiding upper panel 2. start up plasma OBSERVED RESULT After start up the panels will show. But the autohiding one will not disappear EXPECTED RESULT After showing itself for a short while the autohiding panel wil disappear.

I experienced this in other "layouts" too. I suppose it would be easy to reproduce...
So its behavior is reversed? It shows when it should be hidden, and hides when it should be shown?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #3) > So its behavior is reversed? It shows when it should be hidden, and hides > when it should be shown? No, it isn't that bad. At Plasma startup the panel that is supposed to be hidden shows up. But then it doesn't disappear out of itself. Once I click on this panel or even hover over it, it disappears and from then behaves as expected.
Just now I notice that this faulty behavior also occurs after a "plasmashell --replace"...
Hmm, I can't reproduce this. When I move my panel to the top, set it to auto-hide, and restart plasmashell, the panel appears for a moment on launch, then hides again.
i used to have this same issue but my experience is on par with nate now on: Operating System: Fedora Linux 37 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel Version: 6.1.18-200.fc37.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland
Here here! I filed this bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462572 and Nate Graham couldn't reproduce. And in all honetsy: I use a laptop and a mini-desktop, on the mini-desktop there is always this wrong behavior, but it rarely happens on my laptop...
Pk, does your mini-desktop have more than one screen connected?
No, it doesn't have more than one monitor connected...
Created attachment 157325 [details] global theme It only happens after startup. Plasma shows the panels a short time but after that the hidden ones are supposed to disappear. Only they very often don't. In this attachment you'll find a plasma layout that often lets the hidden top left panel "hang" after startup until you hover over it with the cursor. It doesn't seem important what plasma theme you use with it.

Same issue here. The 5.27.4 brought a lot of problems. After opening or focusing of a (new) window of a random app the AUTOHIDE panel shows up and doesn't autohide unless mouse is focused (hovered) and moved away. Using keyboard for input while in app also doesn't hide it. It's VERY annoying. I also discovered that you can't configure autohide time and virtual desktop widget isn't responsive from the first click weirdly. Please FIX ASAP.

I can confirm the autohide behaviour in Arch Linux. On logging into plasma, both my top and left hand side autohide panels do not autohide until I mouse over them. If I open a non full screen app before mousing over the panels, the app is positioned so that it doesn't cover the panels. This behaviour started happening after a recent system update although I can't recall which and occurs without fail. Both my autohide panels are floating.

Now I'm surprised! I can't reproduce this bug anymore. The reason must be that I set the screen dimensions of my laptop to 1600x900 so that I wouldn't need to scale. I use Wayland. So this bug could very well be related to scaling...
There is a solution to the problem I think, checkout my this reply: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468356#c11
