To maximize screen real-estate I like to use the auto-hide option for the KDE Panel, but lately when I click on the Info icon in the Panel (e.g. to show progress in copying a large file), the Panel sticks in the visible state until I close the progress indicator. IIRC it didn't used to do this, i.e. the progress bar widget just floated independantly of the Panel itself. Is this a design change or a bug? Or am I just imagining that it used to be different? This is fully updated F11pre, kdebase-workspace-libs-4.2.3-4.fc11.x86_64 poc
