[Upstream] Kicker broken in Q4OS 6 Trinity when Animation is turned on

Just installed Q4OS 6 and it's pretty cool~

After turning on panel hiding animation, it doesn't show up anymore even when cursor is moved to bottom of screen
(Hide mode: immediately)
Works fine when panel animation is turned off

Also icon for kmix is missing I think in waterleaf n waterleaf dark, it's using the fallback icon

We can confirm this issue. It's easily reproducible on the plain Debian/Trinity stable installation, so we consider it the Trinity upstream one. We will check for possible fix.

Yes, we can confirm. We address this one for fix.

Hi, TDE dev here. Could you share the exact steps to reproduce this in a clean VM installation?

Hey Michele, thanks for coming here

Here's a theme I made, by default it has panel animation on so panel breaks when this theme is enabled

Hi @micheleCQ4OS
- Install Trinity stable on Debian stable as per https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Debian_ … structions.
- Right click on the panel > configure panel > hiding > check hide automatically > check animate hiding
- Panel doesn't show up on mouse attempts once hidden

@Q4OS Team: thanks, I can now reproduce it on my machine too. The issue seems to be wit the "animate hiding" checkbox. If you unchecked that, the hiding works fine. Will try to have a look at this for R14.1.6 (not R14.1.5).
