Bug ID: 378254
Summary: Panel doesn't auto-hide if closing an alert window
without selecting it first
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.9.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: sonichedgehog_hyperblas...@yahoo.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
If a panel containing the task manager has auto-hide enabled, an alert window
pops up, but the window is closed before it is selected... the panel will
permanently remain visible and no longer hide, until you change desktops or
preform other actions that reset it. Reproduction steps:
1 - Have a panel with Task Manager widget on it.
2 - In the settings of your panel enable "Auto Hide", so the panel is hidden
and only shows when you place the pointer at the edge of the screen.
3 - Make a window present in the task manager generate an alert. With the
default Breeze theme, you should see the normally blue underline turn orange.
While this status is present, the taskbar doesn't auto-hide any more.
4 - Right click the task manager entry of the window and select "Close".
Result: The window is closed, but the panel doesn't notice its disappearance.
Plasma still thinks an alert window is present, and refuses to auto hide the
panel any more.
Additional: This is just partly related to the bug in cause, but it might be a
good idea if alert windows didn't inhibit auto-hide altogether. I find the
addition of this functionality an annoyance, which doesn't seem to help in any
way either: Whenever a window generates an alert following a new event by its
application, the panel suddenly pops up and covers a portion of the screen,
often forcing me to select the window and make the alert status go away in
order to click on or see things that the panel was covering.
