Summary: Plasma 6 Floating Panel unfloats next to tiled/tiling
windows
Classification: Plasma

Platform: Other

Status: REPORTED

SUMMARY
The desktop Floating Panel on Plasma 6 unfloats as soon as a window is tiled
nearby the panel if using tiling padding lower than 28 pixels. Same issue no
matter if a vertical or horizontal panel is used and no matter what panel width
is set. To keep the panel in floating mode we are required to use tiling
padding of 28 pixels or more - which is undesirable and brings a huge gap size
between windows.
The floating panel typically uses a gap of 9 pixels from screen edges so I
typically use a tiling window padding of exactly 9 pixels so that windows are
perfectly visually aligned with the panel edges (unfloated) and the
screen/desktop edges. This worked fine previously with Plasma 5. No longer
works on Plasma 6. Please fix it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable System Setting > Window Management > Desktop Effects > Window
Management > Tiling Editor (Meta+T);
2. (Meta+T) Set a Window Tiling Layout with padding of 27 pixels or lower (9
pixels in my case);
3. Tile any open window next to the panel and observe the panel unfloat.

OBSERVED RESULT
The desktop Floating Panel on Plasma 6 unfloats as soon as a window is tiled
nearby the panel if using tiling padding lower than 28 pixels. (screenshot
example attached)
EXPECTED RESULT
The Panel should keep the floating mode *regardless* of the padding width set
on the tiling layout. The Panel floating mode gap/padding next to any tiled
windows should be exactly the same as the tiling padding width - as is on
Plasma 5. (screenshot example attached)
