Created attachment 182138 [details] large bottom and thin right-side panel cover edit panel dialog SUMMARY If you have several panels, esp. large ones, they can be drawn over the panel edit mode dialog, leaving them inaccessible. Floating and different auto-hide settings may also matter, I haven't exhaustively checked the combinations. Which panel the dialog is for does seem to matter somewhat, e.g. in the attached screenshot, selecting the right panel moves the dialog so that this panel won't cover it, but for other panels it will, as shown in the screen shot. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add various panels on all screen sides 2. Enter Edit Mode 3. Show Panel Configuration on the various panels OBSERVED RESULT Dialog is covered by panels and can't be accessed EXPECTED RESULT Dialog is still usable and settings can be changed (for example to get it back to a more reasonable state) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 42 KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Kernel Version: 6.14.9-300.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.5 GiB usable) Graphics Processor: Intel® HD Graphics 520 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Can confirm. Perhaps we should increase the Z order of the config dialog to account for issues like this. It's not idea, but it should at least be better than having the panel overlap it in cases where *some* kind of overlap is inevitable.

Git commit 23372daf76c29e2209c7311fbad80dc628edf8fe by Niccolò Venerandi. Committed on 14/10/2025 at 13:16. Pushed by niccolove into branch 'master'. Adjust availableScreenRect of Coronas for stacked panels in edit mode When entering edit mode, panels stack on top of each other instead of overlapping. This might cause them to get inside the available screen rect, where they might cover other content. Instead, this commits makes availableScreenRect update based on the edit mode status and makes the panel setting dialog reposition based on it.
