SUMMARY Auto-hiding panels still invisibly take up space in the miniature desktop, leading to all sort of weird issues. This is most noticable with a very wide side panel. Reproduced on master, 6.1.4 on Tuxedo, and in a VM with Fedora 40. If you do this, and interact with existing desktop widgets, all sort of weirdness happens - things get moved to panels, vanish completely, I've had plasmashell hang so completely it required SIGKILL (though I can't reproduce that one)... Reproduction steps are an example STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a panel on the left-hand side that takes up somewhere around 30-40 percent of the screen and set it to autohide. Put Analog Clock on it 2. Repeat the same on the right-hand side 3. Enter desktop Edit mode and add a Sticky note widget in the middle of the screen. Try to resize it to the edge of the desktop. Try to move it to the side of the desktop. OBSERVED RESULT The sticky note can't be resized to cover the part of the desktop that the panel would cover if it were always visible. Trying to move the applet to that area on the desktop instead places it on the panel. EXPECTED RESULT The sticky note widget can be resized and repositioned to cover all visible areas on the desktop SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: TUXEDO OS 3 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.8.0-101041-tuxedo (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 520 (for the Tuxedo version) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
