Screen recording showing the panel popup behaviour
SUMMARY
When right-clicking, "Enter edit mode", the Panel configuration popup can be
very prone to be inaccessible due to being covered by configuration popups of
widgets on that panel, e.g. task manager widget. Furthermore, in this state of
being covered, the Panel config popup will vanish when just moving the cursor.
This is easy to trigger especially when the panel is in auto-hide or dodge
mode.
(See attached screen recording)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click on the large empty space of the default panel, "Enter edit
mode..." (Wayland session)
2. Panel configuration popup appears
3. When your panel is set to "always visible", move the cursor over the panel.
(When your panel is set to "auto hide" or "dodge windows" this is likely not
necessary.)
OBSERVED RESULT
A big Task manager configuration popup covers the Panel config popup.
* If you now move the cursor a bit, the Panel config popup will vanish
completely after ~1-3 seconds.
* If you then right-click on the panel again, "Leave edit mode", the edit mode
will not be left, but instead the Panel config popup re-appears again! (To
leave edit mode, click close button on the top-screen "Edit mode popup".)
* If you actually want to access the Panel config popup when covered with
another popup, left-clicking on one of the visible (=not covered) parts of the
Panel config popup makes it stay at the top. But you need to fast (or at least
not to slow) to do that click, otherwise the popup will vanish like described
above!
EXPECTED RESULT
* The Panel configuration popup doesn't get covered by other popups.
* It does not vanish just by moving the cursor.
* Right-clicking on the panel, "Leave edit mode" will actually leave the edit
mode.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.90
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.247
Qt Version: 6.6.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
* The description above is based on the behaviour on Wayland. On X11 it is very
similar, with the only(?) difference being that the Task manager config popup
is much smaller and thus it is easier to see/reach the partly covered Panel
config popup (what makes the bug a bit less obvious).
* Reproduced on Neon Unstable installation and a VM with openSuse Krypton live
image.
