lxpanel background color doesn't display correctly if "autohide" is set

[Julian Brelsford]

Binary package hint: lxpanel

OS i am running: Lubuntu 11.10, updated as of today, 5/16/11.

Steps to reproduce: right click on the panel, choose "panel settings", go to "advanced".
Check the box for "minimize when not in use" and close panel settings window. Then you may have to reboot to reproduce the problem.

No need to restart the machine to reproduce the problem. Once you have set the panel to autohide, just restart lxpanel: run this terminal command and then wait for several seconds; then mouse over the panel to cause it to pop into view:
lxpanelctl restart

Yes, I can confirm this.

Instead of restarting the panel, what I'm doing is disable and re-enable automatic hiding to correct the background color. I am also using Lubuntu 11.10 64-bit.
