"Hide Buttons" don't actually "hide" panel

[NP-Hardass]

I am running a multi-monitor setup with two monitors of differing resolutions. While this functionality is supposed to be hiding, it merely performs a shift of the panel, off of the visible area of the monitor. Thus, if the button is clicked on the boundary of two monitors, it shifts the panel onto the adjacent monitor. Attached is an image demonstrating the concept.

Yes, I see this also.
The hide button merely scrolls the bar onto the rightmost monitor. Bizarre.
In my case, I activated the hide buttons on the bottom bar and pressed them. The bar rather than disappearing, is scrolled off the left monitor and onto the right one. It appear to be just shifted over horzontally.

Does this issue still exists?

Still does on 1.26.3, at least.

Where?

Suggestion: do not use hide buttons. Use auto-hide from preferences menu
The panel will hide in a better way. Going with the mouse to the edge or the monitor will bring the panel back.

Uhhh, seems like autohiding behaves the same too. When a panel goes into hiding mode, it'll also slide into a nearby display, if one exists.
In this screenshot I have a panel on the right side of the horizontal screen, yet when autohide is active, it spills over to the left side of the vertical one.

(As an aside, it is now much harder to click on anything on said panel since it keeps moving back and forth when the mouse pointer's near it.)

Of course issue still exists, why not putting the panel on the other side?
