When my panel is configured as both floating and auto-hide, it appears whenever I move the cursor to any area where the panel would be , including the empty areas around it that include its extended hitbox. Can you attach a screen recording of the issue so I can make sure I'm testing the same way? Thanks! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I meant when you move the cursor to where it hits the bottom edge of the screen. If the panel is floating and therefore doesn't extend all the way to the edge, if the cursor hits an "empty" area, the panel stays hidden. Even if it's only a few pixels, but it's especially noticeable when the minimum size of the panel is defined to where there is significant empty space on either side. I could see how this behavior would make sense for e.g. a tiny side panel with a clock plasmoid, or if a person had more than one panel on a screen edge, but I don't think it makes sense for the "main" panel that has the launcher, task manager and system tray by default. Especially being that it is generally the only panel on the bottom screen edge. I would propose that the panel which contains the launcher and/or task manager should unhide when the cursor touches anywhere on the edge where that panel lives. This is the behavior on (I'm so sorry) MacOS and I believe Latte as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
