SUMMARY The Widget Explorer is usually on the left-hand side, but moves to the right for right-edge panels, making the movement required for dragging widgets shorter. However, this does not correctly handle auto-hide panels, and the Explorer is put directly over the panel so that widgets cannot be dragged to it. The only way to add widgets is to fly blind (i.e dding without positioning them) or to open the Widget Explorer for the desktop or another panel, then drag from there (which works as the Explorer is at the left edge). The same seems to happen for left-edge autohide panels and the default location of the Widget Explorer. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add an empty panel, move it to the right-hand screen edge, set it to autohide 2. Click the button "+" on the empty panel to show Widget Explorer OBSERVED RESULT Only Widget Explorer is visible. EXPECTED RESULT Widget Explorer and the panel are both visible.

Can reproduce.
Mhh, cannot reproduce. Any video showcasing the bug?
Ah, sorry, re-built master and can now reproduce. Must be very recent, possibly Marco's MR about auto-hide panels?
