Last modified: 2020-11-06 20:25:12 UTC
Please describe the problem: When a panel is configured to autohide, the panel is not auto hidden when an application is invoked. The Panel should automatically hide itself whenever the mouse cursor is not touching the panel. Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time?

I describe this mis-behaviour as: " autohide won't RE-hide " INTERMITTENT - unless i am missing some obscure criterion Steps to reproduce: 1. create additional panel Orientation = TOP 2. populate with bunch of apps 3. ? (gconf apps_panel_panel_0_toplevels then tweaked; should not be factor) 4. mouse up to trigger unhide and LAUNCH any app 5. panel stays (does not unhide) and is AlwaysOnTop 6. click neutral area of pesky panel, it then hides
Created attachment 132013 [details] scrot of gconf-editor looking at apps_panel_toplevels_panel_0 hope these toplevels tweaks are not a factor

Hrm, I can't reproduce this here, weird. But I wonder if this would actually just be a side effect of bug 128412.
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years. If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-panel/-/issues/ Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
