The answer is simple: LTS means 1.5 year of support, maybe more [1]. That's not long enough for the debian release cycle: 5.18 was at the beginning of this year. That means support will end at about the time or shortly after the next debian stable will be released. [1] https://community.kde.org/Schedules/Plasma_5#LTS_releases
Re: Bottom bar not hiding after switching window
Dear Thom, It doesn't matter how I switch, it's the same behaviour whether I "alt-tab" or click with the mouse onto another window: Switch window, bar is shown (regardless of where my mouse is, also far away from the bar), then move my mouse to the bar and away from it (no clicking) and it stays hidden until I switch windows again (or move the mouse to the bottom). And there's nothing asking for attention as far as I can dicern - the "program indicators" are usual orange if that's the case and none are now.

Bottom bar not hiding after switching window
I more or less recently switched over from XFCE to KDE and must say, I am pretty impressed :) Thanks a lot for packaging this fine DE for debian! I am on debian testing. One quite annoying behaviour I observe is that the bottom bar (set to auto-hide) is not auto-hiding when switching windows. It does auto-hide when I move the mouse onto the bottom bar and away again. That's quite annoying especially on a small laptop screen when the open window has an input field at the bottom (like most messengers). Can anyone reproduce? I assume not, at least I couldn't find any info on anyone having the same problem online. Is there a cache/config file relevant to this behaviour I could check or move out of place to see if it's a misconfig? Thanks in advance for any help. Cheers, Simon
