--- Comment #37 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> --- I'm sorry you feel your time was wasted by reporting issues in a feature that's going to be removed in the next version of Plasma. That decision wasn't made until recently, so I'm afraid there was no way to provide earlier notice of it. Sometimes that's just the way things shake out. The point of the new feature is to work properly--or at least, as well as the current Auto-Hide feature works. By re-using its code, plus code for the pre-existing feature to turn the panel opaque when touched, we gain the ability implement a "Dodge Windows" feature in a way that exercises existing codepaths, which means they get used and tested more and become more robust over time. It also hopefully looks and behaves more nicely, and closer to what people are expecting, given that an identical feature already exists on some other platforms. This is in contrast to the "Windows Can Cover" feature which has its own separate codepath that almost never gets used (it was believed to be the least-frequently used of the visibility modes) and behaved in a rather awkward way. So yes, it would be fairly accurate to say that the old feature had a messy and buggy implementation, and it's being "re-launched" in the form of a new feature that offers a slightly different interaction model and visual presentation with more robust code. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
