Hide Forgot
Description of problem: The Gnome panel autohides when moving an applet. Imo it should be visible during the whole operation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.4.0-3
Patch available. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122863
Created attachment 97579 [details] patch to avoid gnome-panel from autohiding when moving icon Cleaned up to patch against FC1. Works for me. This patch is so simple that I don't believe it will cause any side effects. Move to testing.
Created attachment 97580 [details] SPEC file to accompany autohide patch
Setting version to 1 and adding [PATCH] to subject line.

Should be fixed in Raw Hide. Also, fix is in gnome-panel 2.4.2 which I'm going to release as an FC1 update ... hopefully next week.
This appears to be a DUPLCITE of 105985. Not sure which one to close since the other bug is for RawHide.
Leonard: should be fine to mark the other one as a duplicate of this. Thanks :)
I meant not sure which one should be closed. I have no bugzilla rights for bugs that are not mine.

I've just released a testing update which should fix this issue. Please test it out and let us know if it fixes your problem. Details on the update: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-February/msg01512.html
After a few hours of testing the testing update, it appears to resolve all of my problems with gnome-panel. Including my unreported bug of the panel popping up (and staying up) if the mouse mometarily bumps the panel (requiring the mouse moved again to the panel to get the panel to hide). Thanks for the work.
As you're thanking for the work, I think it's appropriate to mention that the patch was written by Vijaykumar Patwari. That wasn't mentioned here yet. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122863 I think that "unreported bug" is reported, see bug #104178.
Okay, a gnome-panel Fedora Core 1 Update (2.4.2-3) is now available from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/
