Created attachment 9327 neofetch I am seeing the same issue as reported in https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=13321 I am using compton as well. Attached is a neofetch of my system.
Can you reproduce this with a simple "xfce4-panel -r" instead of a hard reboot?
(In reply to Andre Miranda from comment #1) > Can you reproduce this with a simple "xfce4-panel -r" instead of a hard > reboot? I did the "xfce4-panel -r" and ""xfce4-panel" to make the panel reappear. I could not reproduce like hard reboot. Worked as intended with "xfce4-panel -r".
Well, worked for me after reboot. xfce4-panel 4.14.1 xfce4-session 4.14.0 xfconf 4.14.1 xfce4-settings 4.14.1

I have the same packages that you have listed and still have the issue. I am also not alone as reported in original link by another person...
Can confirm. I set the panels "enter and "leave" opacity to 90. "Leave" opacity keeps getting reset to 100 incessantly. I think it might happen when you disable/enable Xfwm4's compositor.
I'm using panel 4.14.3 btw. 4.14.2 had this in its changelog: "plugins: Fix enter/leave opacity w/o compositing (Bug #14577)", but it seems to have been unrelated.
Got a repro. 1. Enable compositor in Xfwm4 2. Set 90/90 for enter/leave opacity, close panel config dialog 3. Disable compositor, reopen panel config dialog -> Now the panel internally uses 90/90 but shows 90/100 in the settings 4. Restart panel with xfce4-panel -r -> Now the panel shows 90/90 in the settings 5. Enable compositor -> 90/100 becomes active, settings show 90/100 again
Indeed, it seems that the panel sets the leave_opacity to 100% (only internally in the panel object, not in xfconf) when compositing is disabled and since all properties are bound directly to the UI you can also see that in the settings. I'll see if I can redo that part without touching the leave_opacity value at all...
Created attachment 9422 Patch that ensures the leave_opacity value remains intact Wfm but please test - thanks!
Simon Steinbeiss referenced this bugreport in commit 563c1647f1917f6390397dd0998d99d067e98e63 panel: Don't tamper with leave_opacity value (Bug #16296) https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/commit?id=563c1647f1917f6390397dd0998d99d067e98e63
Seems fixed with the patch, or at least I couldn't reproduce it anymore. Thanks!
