--- Comment #5 from Niklas Stephanblome <niklas.stephanbl...@outlook.de> ---
The issue is the following (there are multiple ways to produce this bug). 

Option 1:
- You have a panel that is set to "auto-hide" (Edit Panel > More Options >
Visibility)
- You move the mouse against the panel edge so it appears and leave your mouse
there 
- You activate the Overview effect and after it is activated you move the mouse
away from the edge
- You deactivate the Overview effect and here comes the ISSUE: the panel is
visible even though your mouse is not hovering over it or touching the
corresponding edge. It will stay that way until you hover over it and then move
your mouse away again. 

Option 2:
- You have a panel that is set to "auto-hide" (Edit Panel > More Options >
Visibility)
- You activate the Overview effect 
- You move your mouse against the corresponding edge (where the panel would
usually be)
- You move your mouse away again
- You deactivate the Overview effect and here is the ISSUE: the panel is still
visible and will be until manually hovered over again, same as in Option 1. 


This is especially annoying when in some cases, hovering over the panel won't
help refresh its visibility state, leaving you with a permanently visible panel
that covers part of any full screen application. A kwin restart won't help, a
reboot is necessary to solve it. 
The root of the problem is the wrong assumption that a panels state doesn't
change during the effect, thus when the effect ends, the panel's original state
(before the effect) is restored, which is not desirable, the panel should be
refreshed instead.
