Apologies for reposting from another subforum but it seems like this is the correct place to post my issue.
I recently switched my laptop to Kubuntu 25.04 (Kernel 6.14). It's a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 8th Gen convertible with an OLED screen, so I use the auto-hide panel feature to help prevent the icons from burning in. I bought this specific laptop so I can use it for drawing in tablet mode. However, I've found a slightly annoying oversight with the panel: the panel won't un-hide when I hover over the bottom of the screen with the pen. It shows the blue "glow" when the cursor is near the bottom edge, but never reveals the panel. It doesn't respond to touch, nor have any sort of "swipe up" gesture as a fallback either. The built in keyboard is disabled in tablet mode, and plugging in an external keyboard defeats the purpose. As a temporary workaround, I can set the panel to stay visible when I intend to use it as a tablet, and change the settings back when I'm done, but doing it manually every time is inconvenient. Am I missing some setting that already exists to resolve this? Or is there something else I can do to, at a minimum, automate changing the panel settings when touch mode is enabled?
