Hello! After upgrade to Plasma 6.2, I found that panel applets stopped to dodge the panel as they should. See below screenshot for clipboard applet as an example. All other applets, including application launcher and calendar, got the same issue. I am using a floating panel but turning the panel non-floating do not help.
BTW Is there a way to stop floating panels to dodge maximized window?
Are you using Panel Colorizer or transparency applied to the panel with a plugin like Transparency Toggle?
If so this is the bug 494193 – Panel popups position broken when PlasmaCore.Types.NoBackground is applied to the panel and this the MR I sent that fixes this PanelView: Fix popups position when NoBackground hint is set (!4797) · Merge requests · Plasma / Plasma Workspace · GitLab if merged.
TL;DR Panel tooltips/dialogs now depend on the blur/contrast mask to appear on the correct position, turning off those (the aforementioned plugins do) will “remove” that mask causing the problem I see in your screenshot.
I am the developer of Panel Colorizer and found this after updating to Plasma 6.2 Popup/dialogs spawn at incorrect position if 'Native panel background' is disabled in Plasma 6.2 Beta · Issue #80 · luisbocanegra/plasma-panel-colorizer · GitHub
Thank you, Luis!
YES, I do use your great panel colorizer to customize my panel. Cannot wait for the merge of your MR.
I had something similar happen, and when I expanded and then closed the panel drop-down again it started dodging properly again.
