That is because the panel sets struts[0] accordingly.

Any tips how to simplify the code above?

If you don't care about the animation, you can just set the properties directly, e.g.

Main.panel.actor.height = 1;
Main.panel._leftCorner.actor.y = 0;
...

Note that the corners don't affect the struts, so a simple corner.actor.hide() should work; I don't see why you set the opacity of Main.panel._boxContainer, Main.panel.actor.hide() should do the trick.

 

Or should I report a bug about Main.panel.actor.hide?

It's not specific to Main.panel.actor. I'm not sure if there is a reason for allowing hidden actors to add struts, I filed a patch[1] to find out ...
