More or less the same problem as described in bug 501454, right?

I experience this too, when hiding a panel it literally simply gets moved to the right/left which gives undesired behaviour in the case of a dual screen setup.

In my case the panel is not-expanded, positioned in the lower right corner of screen one and with the second screen being positioned to the right of the first screen (right from my point of view). When clicking the button to hide the panel in the right corner, it will slide into the second screen.

On Autohide the panel also moves to another monitor (here it is on top, so it moves up and is on the above monitor)

Since 2006: Status: UNCONFIRMED ?

Confirmed!

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.
