Default taskbar behaves erratically after switching position from top to bottom

Open cjns1989 opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

When you change the position of the taskbar from top to bottom in wcm and set it to autohide you need to move the mouse to the top of the screen for it to unhide.

To reproduce:

  1. create a test account & start wayfire from the tty
  2. launch the wcm configuration editor
  3. under 'panel' change the position of the default taskbar from top to bottom and the check the autohide box
  4. click <Back> button

The user would expect that moving the mouse pointer to where the taskbar is autohid would be a more natural way of unhiding it. Personnally I don't use the mouse if I can help it and (enhancement request?) I would prefer to have the taskbar become visible when I either display the desktop for instance when I use + to visualize the windows open on the current workspace.

Wayfire version: 0.8.0-8 as provided by the debian/ubuntu PPA.

Update: Other noted strange behaviour:

  1. After moving the panel back to top position you need to move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the screen to unhide (so that you need to move fast if you want to click on something).
  2. After another change to the panel configuration (?) it disappeared. Unable to bring it back.
  3. Most of the time when the panel is set to autohide and you have a maximized window open it's not possible to get the panel to display. You need to switch to an empty (e.g.) workspace.
