            Bug ID: 375447
           Summary: Panel Config File Ignores All Settings with
                    Wildcarded/Elided [Horizontal ...] Syntax
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 5.8.3
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Panel
          Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
          Reporter: javascriptj...@hotmail.com
  Target Milestone: 1.0

In OpenSUSE 13.2 (KDE4), you can configure the Panel to autohide for all
possible widths by putting the following in plasmashellrc (or its equivalent):

[PlasmaViews][Panel 2]
panelVisibility=1

This is very useful when Linux is run in VMWare, as the VM window may have
multiple random widths, and I don't want to have to manually add entries for
every possible width.

In OpenSUSE Leap 42.2 (KDE 5.8.3), this no longer works - it's ignored.  I can
set "autohide" via the GUI, but it will then add a setting specific to the
current width, which only works if I keep the VM window at that width.  The
moment I resize it, the panel stops autohiding.  As  workaround, I've added
every possible window width with an autohide configuration:

[PlasmaViews][Panel 2][Horizontal1000]
panelVisibility=1

[PlasmaViews][Panel 2][Horizontal1001]
panelVisibility=1

[PlasmaViews][Panel 2][Horizontal1002]
panelVisibility=1

[PlasmaViews][Panel 2][Horizontal1003]
panelVisibility=1

[PlasmaViews][Panel 2][Horizontal1004]
panelVisibility=1

:

Ugh.
