Clicking on one window doesn't make the whole panel get covered.
Right now the panel seems to not disappear if a window is maximized but instead
get covered by the maximized window, if you get what I mean.
This becomes annoying when you have 2 or 3 open windows covering the whole
desktop. Then the panel would be visible and clicking only on 1 window will
make it cover ONLY the part of the panel that was above the window that was
clicked.
I'm not sure what I dislike about this behaviour but I think it needs some
change. Here are some I came up with:
1. If a window is snapped to the bottom edge of the screen then make the panel
(when set to "windows can cover") disappear by moving down, if the panel is
stuck on the bottom edge, etc, just like latte docks' disappearing animation.
2. If there are 2+ windows open and snapped to bottom edge with a panel set to
"windows can cover", then clicking on one of the windows to focus would make
the whole panel get covered instead of the part that covered the window that
was clicked.
Generally the current panels give me the feeling that they are in a "layer"
that can constantly move above or below the "layer" of every window. I believe
it should be like lattedocks where the dock/panel seems to stay always above
everything else but simply move out of screen when a window is maximized.
