Description Kelly-Rand 2023-06-09 17:45:11 UTC

This is an intermittent issue that occurs more often than not when logging into my user session. The original install was F38-beta and I had the described issue then and it could be rectified in a terminal by issuing the command:
mate-panel --replace &
Now since upgrading to the F38 release I am still having this issue. I have in all cases been able to restore the panels with the noted terminal command. 
The Mate Version: 1.26.1



Reproducible: Sometimes

Comment 1 Kelly-Rand 2023-06-27 18:24:16 UTC

After deleting /home/<user>/.config  and reconfiguring my settings I am no longer having the missing panel problem. Since it appears no others are having this problem I consider it closed and will mark it so in the status.
