Hello everyone, i am using a Lenovo X390 Yoga convertible with Debian 13 and KDE Plasma 6.3.6. I’m using the tablet mode quite a bit to take notes during lectures with the included Wacom Pen. Now palm rejection is not the best, i guess it has something to do with the detection range of the cheap pen perhaps (idk) and i am constantly opening apps from the icon task bar or, even worse, constantly open the edit mode for the task bar because it registers me holding down on the taskbar because my palm is resting there.
I tried to work around the detection issues by setting the task bar to automatically hide, however if I’m in tablet mode and i pull up the task bar with my finger it never auto hides again. If I just use my touchpad for example and hover to the bottom of my screen it shows up and then hides again when i leave the area with my cursor. If i pull it up with my finger it only hides again when i reapply the setting to auto hide again or hover it once with my normal touchpad cursor (which is unpractical cause in tablet mode that is literally on the other side of the laptop).
Also maybe related: when it registers my palm just as a hover and not as a click it shows the little info bubble for whatever icon I’m “hovering” but that tooltip doesn’t disappear again i have to click something on the task bar manually to make it disappear.
Is there something like a “virtual” cursor for the touch inputs that just stays on the task bar so it doesn’t hide again? Can i do anything about it? Because working like this is actually a little painful.
