Bug ID: 447666 Summary: Cannot show hidden panels with touchscreen on Wayland Product: plasmashell Version: 5.23.4 Platform: Manjaro OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Panel Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org Reporter: arnaud.verg...@mailo.com Target Milestone: 1.0 SUMMARY When panels are set to auto-hide on Wayland, it is impossible to show them by only using a touchscreen. On X11, it works because the mouse cursor follows the finger on the screen. On Wayland, there is no cursor anymore under the finger, thus panels are not aware the user wants to show them when touching near a screen edge. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set a panel to auto-hide on Wayland 2. Touch or swipe near the side of the screen the panel is OBSERVED RESULT Users cannot show panels by touching the screen's side where the panel is. EXPECTED RESULT Users should be able to make hidden panels appear either by touching near the screen's side where the panel is, or by doing a small swipe gesture. If opting for a swipe gesture, it should not interfere with screen edge actions by using different distance thresholds (small to show panels, longer to trigger actions).
