Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
(a) log in with X11 (using the lower-right gear icon on the Ubuntu session login screen); and
(b) enable auto-hide for the dock (Settings-
(c) open a full-screen window for some application that accepts clicks (I've used LibreOffice, Signal, Chrome, GIMP)
(d) click on an application icon
I would expect the application to launch. It does not. App icons also don't highlight on mouseover.
The click seems to instead go to the window underneath the dock. So for example in the attached picture, if I click with my mouse there, Emacs is not going to launch, and instead the link in the browser under the dock will get clicked, and the browser goes to the linked page.
If you skip my step (c), such that it's just desktop behind the dock, everything works normally.
Pretty simple workaround to just not use auto-hide, but it is nice having that extra real estate for the 95% of the time I'm not using the dock.
