Hello,

the panel smart hide feature seems to cause Cinnamon crash in 5.4:

JS ERROR: Error: No signal 'switch-workspace-complete' on object 'CinnamonWM'

I am also having the same issue of crashing to blank screen after the update except the intelligently hide panel feature is disabled on my system.

Issue

If the panel is set to always show or intelligently hide, then after logging in Cinnamon crashes. No windows are displayed, no panels are displayed, the main menu is not displayed, etc. The cursor is visible, and the only thing in the right-click menu is "Customize".

Steps to reproduce

Enable "Intelligently hide panel", log out, and then log back in. Enabling "Always show panel", avoids the problem.

Expected behaviour

No errors after starting session.

The new package in arch repos (5.4.1-1) fixes the cinnamon crashing issue. But the smart hide feature still does not seem to work properly. If I maximize a nemo window, the panel overlaps it. I have to drag my mouse cursor to the bottom to make the panel hide. Then if I resize the window, the panel remains hidden. For the programs that start maximized, the panel hides as it should, but then I can't make the panel pop-up by dragging down the mouse cursor, it just makes the panel "blink".
