Panel hides to soon when trying to select network via the Wifi icon

[TheSluiceGate]

Huy guys, pretty new to lubuntu here and I'm trying to sort out my basic preferences/cofig.

So I have my main Application launch / Taskbar panel set to autohide. However when I click the Wifi icon to try and select another network, or work with network settings, the menu options disappear as, I believe, the mouse pointer is read as being no longer over the panel, and the panel hides.

Is there any way to modify this behaviour, or is it a bug?

I'd rather not install another dock by the way.

Thanks!

this sounds like a bug and you should probably report it. Last time i remember, LXDE's panel is not very friendly with Autohide.

If you want to connect without having to disable autohide everytime, you should run the
nmtui command with your terminal, it gives you a nice dialog interface to select your network. :D

Thanks, I'll report it as a bug.
