[opensuse-kde] 12.2/4.10.5 broken panel when panning Xorg enabled
host gx27b radeon rv200 gfxchip A major reason to still be using 12.2 is that panning is broken in >12.1[1], restored in 12.2 (but not later) only via home:/bjoernv:/branches:/openSUSE:/12.2/Update/standard repo which I have enabled on systems requiring panning. With any resolution I set, e.g. 1600x1200 or 1920x1440, enabling panning in Xorg (e.g. 1920x1200 or 2560x1440) causes the (normal on bottom location) panel controls to be inaccessible, its height to be about ~6px, with its top near expected location (30px-50px above bottom of screen), with the desktop background showing below the 6px of panel that is showing. Panel moved to top of screen works normally. If while panning is enabled I try to move it to the bottom, motion while attempting the move is erratic and unpredictable, but if I only attempt to drag it below the middle instead of nearly to its expected landing point, it lands at approximately its height less ~6px above the bottom. Normal bottom located panel is restored by disabling panning. With top panel, fullscreen apps nevertheless behave as expected. KDE3's Kicker at bottom works normally with panning enabled. Normally I would file a bug, but IIUC 12.2 only has a month or so of support left, and I likely can make do with a top panel, though I really don't like any top panel, finding the proximity of app menu controls so close to the desktop controls very uncomfortable.
