Bug Description

Binary package hint: xfce4-panel

Xubuntu 10.10, 10.04

I have three panels configured to autohide. When I go to unmount an flash flash drive or cd from its icon on the places applet in the panel, the autohide is disabled and the panel remains visible.

This behaviour is the same in both 10.10 and 10.04. The only solution is to "killall xfce4-panel" then restart them in the Alt-F2 run box.

If I unmount from within an actual instance of Thunar the problem does not happen.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.

I am able to confirm this issue in Xubuntu 10.04. I can not this in the development version, Natty Narwhal, because the places plugin is not working in that version.

Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

I experience this bug using xfce4-panel 4.6.3-1ubuntu2.

Workaround: To make the panel hide again after the unmount using Places, I again click on the Places icon (the folder icon) and then click away. This seems to reset the autohide.

This is still an issue in xfce 4.8 with panel: 4.8.6 and places-plugin: 1.2.0. To be more precise, it happens when right clicking an entry (you don't even have to select a menu item).
The correct autohide behavior can only be restored by a xfce4-panel -r.
