Re: Bottom bar not hiding after switching window
Dear Simon, That is odd and annoying. I am afraid I cannot reproduce that behavior (although I am on unstable, I have not seen the behavior some time ago either). The only possible workaround I can suggest is setting your taskbar to be always visible, keep it like that until the next reboot and then switch back to auto-hide. It (seemed to) help(ed) me in the past.

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.

Re: Bottom bar not hiding after switching window
Dear Simon, I also have my taskbar set to auto-hide, and did have some problems with it in the past, but those have been resolved. What exactly do you mean with switching windows? Are you switching using a keyboard shortcut? AFAIK the taskbar is shown if and only if the mouse cursor is close to the bottom of the screen. What *might* be happening is that one window asks for attention (notification etc.). That causes the taskbar to remain visible.

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
