Hi, in the process to switch to ironbar and it looks great

I'm using a bar with autohide but the bar hide itself when I try to use a popup like the calendar or a menu. Setting a higher delay kind of make it usable but I want to know if there is any options that keep the bar visible until the cursor is out of the bar or the popup, not only the bar itself.

I'm on version 0.18.0-pre

I'm no programmer but here some infos that might not be useful but anyway when I launch ironbar in the terminal I get this GTK warning as soon as I add autohide to a config, even an empty bar:
2025-10-22T03:19:54.100832Z WARN GTK: 130: [Gdk] (../gtk/gdk/wayland/gdktoplevel-wayland.c:474):gdk_wayland_toplevel_compute_size: runtime check failed: (size.width > 0)

I'm using niri but I get the same on sway and hyprland, in hyprland the warning get spawned continuously.

EDIT: After updating to the last git version I also get this warning:
2025-10-22T19:49:44.273324Z WARN GTK: 130: [Gtk] A window is shown after it has been destroyed. This will leave the window in an inconsistent state.
