Created attachment 155206 [details] bug screenshot using dolphin SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** I have the Panel on my right screen side. Almost daily, I notice that all applications are drawn behind the panel. However this is not permanent and mostly occurs after closing the notebook lid and reopening it after some time. It's kinda annoying, as some functionality cannot be accessed this way (especially many hamburger menus of e.g. Browsers). STEPS TO REPRODUCE These steps are what I have observed mostly. It's not always the case... 1. Close notebook lid 2. Reopen it after a short wait 3. Open and newly applications might be drawn behind the panel OBSERVED RESULT See screenshot EXPECTED RESULT Panel space is not used for drawing apps SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.15.86-1-lts (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.101.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Do you have any Window Rules? Are you using the X11 or the Wayland session?
I have no window rules and use the X11 session.
Thanks for the info. Not sure what could be causing this, unfortunately.
I found a quick and easy workaround: - Enter the edit mode - Exit the edit mode immediately Afterwards the panel space is respected by all apps again.
I finally found the cause. Take the following setup: - Connect one Notebook running Plasma and one external monitor using HDMI. Both screens have the same resolution (1920x1080). (Assumption: Two external monitors work the same) - Align the desktop's panel to the right (Assumption: Panel on left works the same) - Use the "Expand to right" display option - Open a maximized window and move it to the external monitor - Unplug the HDMI cable so the window automatially get's move to the main screen Result: You can notice how the window is drawn behind the panel. I guess the window manager somewhere lacks a call to recalculate maximized window size.
Today I made the switch to wayland (in preparation for Plasma 6) and this is not reproducible anymore. From my side, this could be closed.
