4.16 panel lag issue
When working with Mint Linux 20.3 I like to have the main (1st) panel intelligently hidden at the top of the screen. Problem is, if I have a full screen window and then activate the upper panel pulldown, it stays down. I also find this happening with MX-Linux 21. Both use xfce 4.16.
This issue doesn't arise with Mint Linux 19.3 using xfce 4.14, nor with MX-Linux 19.4. Here the panel hide action is nicely snappy.
Moderator ToZ has been able to replicate the issue.
- Put one window up against the panel so it triggers the auto-hide
- Put another window slightly lower so it doesn't trigger the auto-hide (panel should unhide.)
- focus the top window (panel hides)
- hover over panel to unhide it
- move mouse to second window - panel does not autohide even though this new window has focus.
This is probably a bug.
