Bug ID: 478940
Summary: Plasma 6's "dodge windows" doesn't care about window
focus
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.91.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: dominik.klementow...@protonmail.com
CC: niccolo.venera...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Currently when in "Dodge windows" mode, the panel avoids all windows that
happens to be in a position of the panel. This might be debatable/expected
behavior, but really what's handy about inteli-hide in other panels/docks
(Dash-to-dock, Latte, ...) is the ability to only avoid focused windows.
In fact, this is the current Plasma 5 behavior of the panel in "windows can
cover" mode that "dodge windows" is about to replace, so functionally this is
sort-of regression.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open panel settings, in behavior choose "Dodge windows"
2. Open a window and maximize it
3. Open and focus another window that's floating outside of the panel area
(same workspace
OBSERVED RESULT
Panel is hidden
EXPECTED RESULT
Panel is shown, unless the focus goes back to the maximized window

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
After writing all of above I saw the issue was raised before here
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477145
I can totally understand how this feature is what some people would want, but I
also believe the "dodge focused" has some good use + it was possible before
with "windows can cover". So if that's up to preference, why not having both:
1. Dodge all windows (current option)
2. Dodge focused window
