SUMMARY If the panel is in Dodge Windows or Autohide mode, then clicking a widget like Minimize All or Show Desktop breaks the autohiding behavior. That is, the panel does not hide away even if the mouse is not on it, and a window is touching it. Behavior is restored if I open and close the system tray. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set panel to Dodge Windows or Autohide 2. Click Minimize All or Show Desktop OBSERVED RESULT Autohiding behavior breaks EXPECTED RESULT Autohiding behavior keeps working SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 39 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0 Qt Version: 6.6.0 Kernel Version: 6.6.11-200.fc39.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Reason why this happens: PanelView::restoreAutoHide() disables autohide if the panel's status is NeedsAttentionStatus or higher. Recently https://invent.kde.org/plasma/libplasma/-/merge_requests/1036 made a change so that when an applet is activated, the panel gets NeedsAttentionStatus.

Git commit 6794ae6ab7c2c50f5ac57d7f32f5db1f7347201c by Nate Graham, on behalf of Niccolò Venerandi. Committed on 25/03/2024 at 19:05. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Do not activate containment when one of its applet is activated Reasoning is that some applets use "activated" when they would to trigger their action, e.g. the show desktop applet. If the containment (here, the panel) also gets activated as a result, it will get mouse input and a blue line will appear. Previously this was avoided by some hacky code that (a) apparently was not working for some people and (b) broke auto-hide and dodge windows after clicking on "Minimize all". This will also allow us to delete the hack in plasma-desktop.
