Bug ID: 372248
Summary: Opening auto-hide panel properties messes up desktop
widgets layout
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.8.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: achat1...@free.fr
Target Milestone: 1.0
Hello,
The bug has been present for a while but just had time to report it now.
Overview:
If you open panel properties on say a panel on the top edged with auto-hide
settings, then it pushes all widgets on desktop down and then back up in place
when you close the panel properties.
Although this behaviour is mostly fine, if you happen to have widgets on the
desktop fairly tightly packed, say you have few of them stacked up vertically
on the desktop with only the minimum space between them and between the top and
bottom of the screen, then opening the panel property bar move them all over
the place.
To reproduce:
1) Create a new empty panel placed at the top edge of the screen and enable the
auto-hide settings (make it a bit wide for the bug to be easier to reproduce)
2) Place two of three widgets above each other (well I suppose it work with one
too)
3) Scale them up so there is only the minimum space between them and between
top and bottom of the screen
4) Open panel properties on the new panel
What should happen:
Panel properties bar should open on top of the desktop widgets without moving
them
What actually happens:
Widgets are pushed down and their layout is rearranged on the desktop (resized
and moved) to make them fit.
This is also the case for a panel with auto-hide settings place on the side
edge if you have widgets packed horizontally along the desktop.
It used to be that this would also happen with the default bottom panel but for
some reason I can't seem to reproduce it any more even if I put it on auto-hide
(property bar just open over the widgets without moving them).
Thanks
Gauthier
