GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 679677
Gnome-panel overlaps gnome-terminal.

When I am working with terminal expanded to full screen, then the incoming message overrides the command line to me. Why not make the panel transparent bottom left?
I don't know exactly what you mean. Could you attach a screenshot here? Which version of gnome-panel is this about, and which distribution?
Created attachment 218437 [details] ScreenShoot First screenshot
Created attachment 218438 [details] ScreenShoot 2
The first screenshot shows that the cursor is at the bottom, in the second screenshot the cursor is blocked by the panel. It's embarrassing!
Why such a long and empty bar at the bottom?
Are you using a auto-hiding panel? If yes, then that's expected -- I'm not sure what you would expect. If no, then why is there no bottom panel on the first screenshot?
I use the Autohide panel. But some messages are not hiding itself (such as post updates) Other messages are hidden in ten seconds and shut down the console.
That is not gnome-panel. The auto-hide "panel" at the bottom is gnome-shell's message tray, with a system monitor extension and a custom (opaque) theme.
qwerty3456: Which distribution is this about?
Fedora 17.
This is fixed in GNOME 3.6 with the notification area only triggered after a longer time.
