Nautilus-desktop popup behind the ubuntu-dock

[Michal Predotka]

Ubuntu 18.04 with Gnome Shell

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a folder on the desktop
2. Press F2 to change the folder's name

Expected result:
The popup where you can write new name is not obstructed by the dock

What happens instead:
The popup where you can write new name is partially covered by the dock

Is your dock set to auto-hide?

If yes, then the dock should be moving out the way.

If no, then nautilus-desktop should be placing that popup in the clearly defined desktop work area (that does not include under the dock).

No, my dock is not set to auto-hide.

I've just tested with auto-hide turned on. The result is the same. The dock does not hide when changing folder's name.

Also if I create a new folder on the desktop (with dock auto-hide on), it partially hides behind the dock. I guess that issue is covered by bug #1723117

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This should not apply anymore with desktop-icons-ng
