I don't have any touchscreen devices to test this on. Whoever on the team does should test this

@lukefromdc You can try UTM if you have an iPad/iPhone or Limbo if you have an android device, or just wait for someone else with a touchscreen to test it. :)
I will have to wait for someone else,as this is too far out of my experience and hardware posession
Hi. I absolutely confirm that. I found this thread because I was searching if someone also had this. I have an old but still awesome Fujitsu t935 with wacom pen and touch screen. The cupertino taskbar does not move when I use pen, but it does move whenever I touch it when using touch. quite a deal-breaker there for touch devices. I fixed the panel position by command "mate-panel --reset" but that only takes care of the symptom, not sickness. Please Mate guys fix it. Linux cannot be so far behind the touchscreen competition!! :)
Does anyone on the team have a touchscreen to work on this? I cannot afford to buy one for this purpose, and don't know fsck about Limbo etc.
@DumbGameMaker
Set panel layout to 'cupertino'
What should I do
I think it may be more that plank treats the panel somewhat as a window, it may actually be a plank issue
This also can happen in wayland. If you see the pointer turn into a hand, it's NOT letting you grab and move the panel, just getting ready for the panel to "dodge the mouse" and jump to the top of the screen. Never seen this in Xorg with a mouse.
My guess is a fix for one is a fix for the other
Expected behaviour
The panel shouldn't move at all unless you tell it to move. Just like the keys on your keyboard shouldn't start switching places while you're typing, the place where you see and do 80% of common tasks (check if you need to plug in your laptop, check the time, troubleshoot your internet going down for the fifth time in the last hour, etc.) shouldn't be moving around.
Actual behaviour
The panel just moves. When using mouse and keyboard it stays in place but if you are unlucky enough to be using a touchscreen and touch the screen a lot forgetting it is a touchscreen you'll be spending a half hour trying to find the source of it, duckduckgo will have no info on it, and you'll forget you have a touchscreen again until you try touching it. none of this is from personal experience btw
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
MATE general version
1.24.0-2 amd64
Package version
1.24.0-1 amd64
Linux Distribution
Probably not Ubuntu
Link to downstream report of your Distribution
Not a crash, probably won't help much.
