Hello guys,

I am currently using Plasma 5.2 Beta on Fedora 21 (using the plasma-5-beta copr repo) and reporting an issue I am having with the accessibility of application menus when you right-click on an icon of an opened application, in the "Icon only Task Manager" panel widget.

As you can see by the image above, when you hover over the icon, it shows the preview of the currently running app or an obvious icon if for some reason it can't get the window contents. However, upon right-clicking on the app to access the menu, the menu itself actually goes under the preview, making its options completely inaccessible (I was specifically trying to access the option to have an icon show even when the app is not running).

The only way I could get the menu to show without the icon was to use my "quick reflects" and right click the icon and move my mouse away from it before the preview would show. This would allow only the menu to render and therefore be accessible, however this is far from user friendly.

Anyone have an idea how this can be designed around? Maybe force the menus to render above anything else, or hide the preview upon right-clicking on the icon?

Thanks,
Joshua
