Auto-hide taskbar does not work quite right

[David Spain]

In Gnome on the latest version of Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish, the auto-hide taskbar feature is broken. The task bar will disappear even when there is no overlapping window and the only way to bring it back appears to be to move a window down into that region of the display and back away from it and then it will re-appear, until it disappears again on it own.

Sorry don't have the time to help with debug of this, but wanted you to know. Also I submitted a ubuntu-bug on this bug for some reason it gathered all my info and then failed to ask me what the specific problem was. So you might want to x-ref this bug report with that filing to get all the details.

Additional info on this issue, how to reproduce. If I have multiple windows open in an app but collapsed onto the task bar, then click on the taskbar app icon and put up one window and then left-click on the icon again to see the other windows and then left click again regardless if I'm displaying any other window or not (left-click), the task bar hides even though no window is overlapping it. Worst case is if I then minimize all windows I can't get the task bar back unless I either disable auto-hide OR right click on the desktop to bring up a new terminal window and then drag it down into the task bar region and back up again. Just mousing into the hidden task bar region does nothing.

FWIW I'm running Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish with Gnome with the Wayland server under Oracle VirtualBox 6.1.32r149290 (Qt5.6.2)
If you need more information please ask and I will try to provide.
