KDE Plasma: Workaround for maximized windows that expend under panel

5 Comments Posted by dingyichen on 2015/10/30

It is quite annoying that the maximized windows in KDE go under panel.

This KDE bug is a WONTFIX, so no hope from KDE upstream.

However, today I finally discover a workaround: put the panel elsewhere like so:

fedora KDE, panel, plasma

Hmm maybe that’s the configuration of the panel, check that you didn’t enable the option “Windows go behind” (or the like, I have in Spanish) in the “Visibility” part of the panel configuration.

  I set it as “Always Visible”, maximized windows still went under the panel. So it is indeed a bug.

    I have the same problem when the panel is at the top of the screen where I want it, but not when it is at the bottom where it was by default.

    Mmm, the bug I mentioned is resolved, any my plasma desktop act as expected.
    
    Perhaps eventually they decided to fix it.
