I didnīt even notice you wrote xfce3. In my mind I just converted it to xfce4. ^-^
Still: thanks for the correction.
Many greetings from Rosika :wave

You are very welcome. Sounds like you have a similar working solution :) by assigning the needed commands to CTRL key combinations.
(I meant to say xfce4 in my previous comment, not xfce3).

Hi and thank you for your post.
--- Quote ---However, now when this happens, to recover, I just press the Ctrl+F6 keys to run the Autokey script :).
--- End quote ---
Thatīs a great solution. Thanks for sharing.
Iīm still running xfce4-panel 4.16.3-1. So the problem I described still occurs, but not very frequently.
Iīm using this workaround now:
In the keyboard-settings-GUI I defined the two shortcuts I need:
- CTRL+Alt+R for the command "xfce-panel -r"
- CTRL+Alt+N for the command "xfce-panel"
I need the second one only if the first one doesnīt have any effect, which might be the case sometimes.

...
Has anyone of you encoutered anything similiar to that? And if so, could you fix the issue?
Many thanks for your help in advance and many greetings

P.S.:
BTW: there are no log entries indicating that something would not be right. I looked for that with lnav.

I am experiencing something similar (I'm using Linux Lite 6.4). For me, I can reproduce a panel disappearing situation each time by adding the program Audio Recorder as a launcher and then removing from the panel.
What I did was use the program Autokey to create a script that issues the xfce3-panel to recover the panel.
I set Autokey to start each time the system starts and assigned the script to Ctrl+F6 keys (can be assigned to any key(s) you choose).
This doesn't stop the panel from disappearing. However, now when this happens, to recover, I just press the Ctrl+F6 keys to run the Autokey script :).

Hi and thank you for your views on the matter. :)
--- Quote ---The value of using a stable and supported platform with LTS status is much greater.

Yes, I totally agree. :045:
Well, actually I havenīt done the upgrade of those packages. I just wanted to take a look at potential changes.
After that I deleted the ppa:xubuntu-dev/staging entries from software-properties-gtk again and refreshed the package cache.
So itīs back to the defaults again.
--- Quote ---At worst it is a temporary inconvenience and very easy to work around.

Well, this one didnīt work for me:
--- Quote ---can be rectified by hovering the mouse over a launcher in the panel, without depressing any mouse buttons: any erroneously missing window-buttons are restored.
--- End quote ---
(from: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/issues/188 ).
Iīll still have to try this one:
--- Quote ---An other way to rectify this bug without using xfce4-panel -r, is to right-click on the panel, and go to dashboard -> settings.
When the settings window appears, "any erroneously missing window-buttons are restored, and any superfluous blank window-button spaces (left over from previously closed windows) are eliminated"

Thanks a lot for your kind help.
