GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 115700
Awkward Auto-hide
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Auto-hidden panels now hide themselves to only a corner, as opposed to the length/width the panel had parallel to the screen edge. This makes it awkward to see that there's an auto-hidden panel, let alone re-activate it. While the effect is visually very nice, it does not contribute to the usability of the panel's auto-hide behavior in my opinion, and should be made an option at least, or removed if such configuration is too complex.
