Description Luis Hammann 2025-06-20 06:44:48 UTC
SUMMARY
Panels that are set to automatically hide can be pulled up by either touching the screens edge with the mouse cursor, or by swiping from that edge on touchscreens. Only with the latter, the panel won't actually hide again until one of the widgets in the panel has been opened and closed again. This is annoying when e.g. only wanting to look at the clock widget in that panel.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a panel
2. Set it to "auto-hide"
3. Pull up the panel on a touchscreen

OBSERVED RESULT
The panel stays shown forever unless interacted with

EXPECTED RESULT
The panel should hide a few seconds after being pulled up

SOFTWARE/OS VERSION
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora KDE 42
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Wayland (not tested on X11)

I confirm this behavior on git-master Wayland
