Re: Bottom bar not hiding after switching window
Dear Simon,
That is odd and annoying. I am afraid I cannot reproduce that behavior
(although I am on unstable, I have not seen the behavior some time ago
either).
The only possible workaround I can suggest is setting your taskbar to
be always visible, keep it like that until the next reboot and then
switch back to auto-hide. It (seemed to) help(ed) me in the past.
Best,
Thom
