Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

@seb128,

GNOME doesn't use the Unity launcher so GNOME has no problem at all.
This issue is for Unity desktop environment only.

well, docks are a standard type of windows and ideally the nautilus background windows would get information about those and not overlap with them

I can't reproduce this bug with Files 3.26 on Ubuntu 17.10 so I'm assuming this is fixed, up to a Bug Control member to mark this as affecting a particular series if it affects a supported release (currently 14.04, 16.04, and 17.10)! :)
