Cupertino/Pantheon task bar (panel) does not show 22.04

pe flag

I love the mac styled Ubuntu Mate taskbar (or panel as they call it in MATE). However, it has been (all since Ubuntu 18.04) a pain in the neck how lazy it shows up, when I give it a mouse trigger - by navigating to where it is supposed to pop up. Now that my Ubuntu 20.04 suddenly crashed forcing me to upgrade 22.04 (spent 8+ hours trying to fix my old good 20.04) it is getting even unacceptable and this great feature becomes practically useless. Is there anything I could try to have it really intelligently pop up ? I feel like all those options in the Mate-Tweak utility do NOT have any real effect to the task-bar behavior - especially when it comes to hiding/popping up. Even when I right-click the panel (gotta aim precisely on black between some task icons), and choose 'Preferences' - it gives me additional options to tweak the behavior. But it leaves me breathless and helpless how little utility this tool has either.

I also do not see any difference between Cupertino & Pantheon

Edit: The install is fresh, settings are default (delay to mouse hover = 0). PC is very powerful and HW acceleration - I do not believe it is an issue. It could be something with mouse event mess in the default settings. Can we tune it ?

Any help is welcome. P.S. I really hate the idea to install & get used to something that still works - like Linux Mint...

Can't help you with your problem but have a hint for you: you can open the panel preferences easily when you hold the `Ctrl`-key pressed and right-click the panel, no need to find the tiny free space between two icons to open the context menu.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
