SUMMARY
In KDE Plasma 6, I am unable to have a maximized panel on the top, alongside a panel on the left. I can only have a maximized panel on the left, alongside a panel on the top. Is there any reason for this, or is this a bug?


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Add a panel on the left side of the screen and on the top of the screen
2.  Try to make the top panel full width, with the left panel underneath the top panel
3.  Notice you can't do that. With a panel on the left, it won't let me resize the top panel to be full width.

OBSERVED RESULT
See image for details. https://i.postimg.cc/PJMDT4Gc/plasma-6-panel-bug.png

EXPECTED RESULT
For it to work like in Plasma 5.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Fedora Linux 40
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0
Qt Version: 6.7.0
Graphics Platform: Wayland

It's fixed for Wayland, but this issue still happens on X11. Is it a something that'll be fixed for X11, or is it not a priority?
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2025-03-06 21:06:34 UTC 
It will most likely never be fixed for X11, I'm afraid.
