Hi, I recently installed Fedora KDE Plasma spin and I love it. I have just one problem. When I play video from chrome and I switch it to fullscreen, panel stays over the video. When I do the same with Firefox, all is good. Any idea why is it happening? Thanks a lot
What panel are you referring to, and can you supply a screenshot of this happening?
I see. That would indeed annoy me immensely.
If you grab a video file locally and play it using VLC or mpv in full-screen, do you get the same issue (implying that if you can only replicate this in Chrome then it’s probably a chrome bug or chrome interaction with KDE as other browsers and stand-alone videoplayers operate correctly.)
I don’t use Chrome myself, but I cannot replicate this with Firefox, Zen or Floorp, which are the only browsers I have to hand and they are all based on Firefox anyway, so it’s not surprising they all play well. I also cannot replicate it with mpv.
Does fiddling with the panel config make any difference (setting it to dodge windows for example). It makes no difference here, but maybe you have other adjustments other than moving it to the top…
In VLC is also fine and yes, I tried to fiddle with panel settings before, but I want panel to be always visible not hiding. Currently I have this:
Exactly the same as mine then.
Smells like a chrome bug to be honest.
Any solution to this? It has been nearly a month and the problem is still there. Someone please?
@raadush I found this post while searching the same issue. I’m not sure why it is posted to Fedora, as this appears to be a KDE issue. I am having the same problem with Plasma on Arch using any browser in fullscreen.
F11 or sometimes Shift + F11 try to hide panel
