Linux Mint Cinnamon: auto-hide top panel never unhides

Framework Laptop 13 Linux
1

Hi all

I’ve a F13 with Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon (fully updated). I set a top-panel to autohide - as I have on my ThinkPads - and the panel never shows itself; the pointer can be at the top of the screen for ages, and seemingly the un-hide time can be set to anything - the panel never appears.

I’ve got the DPI scaling set as it was set automatically, namely, to x2.

Anyone met this problem, please? Anyone have a solution? Rebooting did not help.

Hello @JL_Framework. I run LM Cinnamon but have not upgraded past 21.1 (for no reason other than inertia). The panel’s autohide settings cause it to appear and disappear as I expect.

To rule out or narrow down factors specific to your machine, you could boot a live version of LMC 21.1 Vera and see if the autohide behaviour changes.
