hw,

IME, the most common reason for this is an app doing some update/notification 
function forcing the panel to pop up to handle the notification event.

This could be a download in a web browser (you see the browser icon with a 
progress indicator scanning across the icon), or other app trying to get your 
attention to show some state changing or warning. (perhaps something in the 
system tray


Yes, this can be frustrating to identify exactly what's "misbehaving"  (the 
panel is doing what it was designed to do, but it's not what you expect).

I don't offhand know If/How there are knobs to control the panel behavior's 
handling of such update/notification events in autohide mode, but that's where 
you should start digging.

Perhaps try looking at:

    kcmshell5 notify

and context-clicking (right-mouse) the notifications system tray icon (Configure Notifications) and 
fiddle with the "track file transfers and other jobs" and "show application and 
system notifications" buttons.  (you'll probably lose the usefulness of the notifier.  maybe 
you can run that with plasmawindowed instead?


I guess now that i have one or more 4K monitors on my desktops i just don't try to 
use 'autohide anymore" :-/
