Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

When the dock auto show (Move a window away from it and it can expand), it make it lose the focus to the application and bring it to the dock.

Example, is moving a window that is too much to the left out of the screen, your bring it to the center and release the mouse, and try to type, not going to work since focus is not to the app it to the dock. There is another situation that the dock auto show and make you lost focus, but I can't recall, but removing the force focus when docs is just appearing because it have space to do should be removed.
