Description unlovable_fridge356 2024-05-16 11:46:48 UTC 
SUMMARY

Panels should have an option to always float.
Panels are currently not shown as floating when windows touch them.
(Alternative: The floating option always shows panels as floating, regardless of whether windows are touching them.)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a panel.
2. Enable the floating option for the panel.
3. Maximize an arbitrary window.

OBSERVED RESULT

The panel is no longer floating.

EXPECTED RESULT

The panel should always float.

Hey. You can achieve this behavior if you set Visibility to Windows go below and style to floating of course.

Although it might not be exactly what you want
Comment 3 Filip 2024-05-16 12:47:32 UTC 
This feature is currently out of scope for the panel

Yes, I know I can do it in this way, but it is indeed not what I want (I use the "Always visible" option for my panel).
Thanks anyway for the quick feedback. It's nice to see that you can still get direct help here. :)
