A video demonstrating the bug.
SUMMARY
Changing Panel Visibility to anything other than "Always visible" makes the
menus for the entries present in system tray inaccessible under normal
circumstances, to get to the menu you basically have to shoot your cursor
towards the entry to reach it before the dismissal animation kicks in.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure you have a panel in any position on the screen (Bottom, Top, Left
or Right), if not create one.
2. Make sure you have a working System Tray with visible entries you can open
menus for. (Eg. Volume Control Panel or the WiFi control panel)
3. Change the panel Visibiliy to "Dodge windows" or "Windows Go below" (Can
also be replicated with "Auto hide")
4. Open any application that is typically used in fullscreen, for our example
we will use Firefox.
5. Summon the panel if you're using "Dodge windows" by moving your cursor to
the respective screen edge and try opening any of the menus for the entries on
the system.
OBSERVED RESULT
Once the menu dialog for the panel entry is open upon clicking the icon, trying
to shift your mouse cursor to the dialog away from the panel immediately
dismisses the dialog and the panel.
EXPECTED RESULT
To be able to access the menu dialogs from the system tray entries regardless
of the Panel visibility and user's speed and agility.
