Ubuntu dock set to auto-hide hides after a right-click menu is closed even when there are no reasons for it to do so.

[Gab Racal]

[ Impact ]

Dash to dock hides when a right-click menu is closed, even if there's no need for it.

[ Test case ]

1. From settings -> Appearance: Enable dock auto-hide
2. Open a window, ensuring the dock is visible
3. Right click on a dock icon, and then click outside the menu to close it
4. The dock should be visible again and not hide (unless is expected)

[ Regression potential ]

The dock does not hide after closing the menu if a window is below it

---

Description: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Release: 22.04

Expected behavior: Dock set to auto-hide would remain shown after either a right-click menu option is selected, or a right-click menu is cancelled.

Actual behavior: Dock hides after a right-click menu closes even when there are no windows in its space.

Additional notes: Dock can be temporarily reset to its normal behavior when one of these actions are performed:

  - when a window enters the dock's usual space
  - when the "show applications" menu is opened and closed
  - when a maximized window is opened and closed/minimized
