Just to clarify: I suppose you mean the setting to hide the panel 
automatically and get it back if you move the cursor to the place of the 
panel.

I don't see those problems here, so it could be unique for your machine. 
However I sometimes had strange behaviour of individual settings after 
version upgrades. If that happens I try to locate the config file for 
that particular setting (should be somewhere in "$HOME/.kde/share/") and 
remove that file. Then after the next login the settings could be 
changed as expected. For your first problem that would be the file 
"$HOME/.kde/share/config/plasme-desktoprc" and for the second 
"$HOME/.kde/share/config/kwinrc". If you want to only test if that helps 
(after all the cause of the problem might be somewhere else), you could 
rename the files instead of removing them.
