Bug ID: 464856
Summary: Floating Panel should un-hide when cursor moves to
screen edge
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.26.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: imagesfromobje...@gmail.com
CC: niccolo.venera...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
***
The current behavior, while intentional, deviates from the standard used by
Latte, DashToDock and MacOS.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use the "Floating Panel" and "center aligned" options for the main tray,
leaving some room on either side.
2. Move cursor to screen edge where "empty" space is
3. Grope around until you find the panel.
OBSERVED RESULT
Panel does not un-hide unless the cursor hits the area where the panel is.

EXPECTED RESULT
Panels should un-hide when cursor hits anywhere on the screen edge, unless
otherwise specified, e.g. in the case of a miniature clock or media player
plasmoid on the side. Current behavior doesn't make sense for a main panel, and
deviates from the behavior of other popular panels like Latte, DashToDock and
MacOS.
