Bug Description
Context:
Fresh installation of 22.04 amd64 on Dell XPS13, running on Intel, Wayland session.
Behavior observed:
Application windows often stop respecting the boundary of the dock and suddenly invade its space (since the dock is slightly transparent I can see which application it is that is doing so, but haven't seen a pattern yet). The scenario is that application windows are maximized, thus the dock should be the boundary on one of the four sides of an opened application depending on where the dock is placed.
Alternatives tried:
Moved dock from left to bottom, no change.
Why is this a problem:
Applications in a maximized state should not be partially hidden by a system UI element until explicitly configured as such (e.g. with a UI config option that the dock is "in the front" and apps in the back).
Sorry for the non technical description, I hope it helps to narrow it down. It is one of the hand full of annoying little things noticed upon launch day.
