Recording where I try to remove an element on the right side of my bottom panel

SUMMARY
When entering edit mode to remove an element from a panel, the Panel Settings window obscures the popup settings that appear when hovering over elements under it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enter edit mode
2. Focus on a panel
3. Try to remove elements that are below the panel settings window

OBSERVED RESULT
The remove button is behind the Panel Settings window

EXPECTED RESULT
These controls should be on the layer above the Panel Settings window.

shell: Don't set panelconfigview as an applet for stacking order purposes

This was added as a wokaround for the case of overlapping other panels.

As well as being semantically not entirley correct, it also causes
issues with stacking order as other popups from the panel that should be
on top of this window.

This is marked as fixed in 6.1.0, but I'm having this exact same issue on 6.1.1.
Is there anything I need for the fix to work?

Make panel config tooltips ask for focus after each applet change

If the tooltip loses focus, e.g. due to an applet being triggered,
then they might appear hidden underneath other windows. By asking
for focus whenever they change the applet, i.e. whenever the user
hovers a different applet, we ensure that they're always on top.
FIXED-IN: 6.1.2

Comment 15 prinon 2024-07-04 20:01:55 UTC
on arch linux running 6.1.2 the bug is still there. I deleted my previous panel and added a new default penal and the issue is still there.
Comment 16 sajito+kde 2024-07-04 20:40:29 UTC
Same here. Running 6.1.2, created a fresh user, issue still exists.
Also can still reproduce when booting the kde neon live iso (neon-user-20240704-0716.iso).
Comment 17 cwo 2024-07-05 06:23:06 UTC
I can confirm the issue still happens on neon-user-20240704-0716.iso (6.1.2). It does not seem to happen on neon-unstable-20240701-1605.iso (Plasma 6.1.80). Both tested in a vm (qemu), my bare metal testing setup is out of order right now. 

If it happens, no special steps are needed - just boot, close the Welcome Center, click the panel, "Show Panel Configuration", hove over the tray. I didn't try hard to find ways to get it to trigger if it doesn't immediately, as the bug is about it happening in regular operation..

Seems like either the fix depends on some non-backported change, or there is some other issue there that emerges in non-trivial ways.

Reopening as there have been three reports of this still happening on 6.1.2 .

Comment 24 Nate Graham 2024-07-18 19:10:40 UTC
If it's still happening for folks on released software but not Neon Unstable or compiled from git master (as for me), then it looks like whatever fixed this is actually in Plasma 6.2. not 6.1.

I am quite glad to know this, also that this wont be a problem with Plasma 6.2.
On a positive note, others stumped by this behavior, should they look here they'll have a solution.
