lxpanel is set to disappear automatically; unfortunately it is also disappearing when I try for example to click on the wlan-menu, after 1 second the opened menu closes in line with the panel itself. (disabling the auto-hide option is a workaround)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Chris Guiver (guiverc)]

affects me too. Lubuntu 18.04 LTS

Normally panel doesn't auto-hide, but I changed it on my thinkpad sl510. Later I tried to adjust the volume and moved mouse to panel, it showed & I clicked volume to have the slider appear, but as I move cursor up to make change it disappears when the panel disappears.

On testing, it effects network too, or anything that requires interaction with the mouse above the panel.

I can stop it from doing it via un-selecting "Minimize panel when not in use" in panel.preferences->advanced.
