Bug Description

Hi,

I noticed very annoying behaviour of Docky in Ubuntu 17.10. Docky does not hide when I move cursor off it. However, that does not happen all the time. If I have Google Chrome beneath Docky it hides OK. In any other app beneath Docky, Docky does not hide. In that case the lower part of the application cannot be used with mouse, as Docky is obscuring it. That happens with autohide and intellihide. I don't like other two options (None, Window dodge).

My SW versions are:

Description: Ubuntu 17.10
Release: 17.10

docky:
  Installed: 2.2.1.1-1

Hi,

I noticed a detail that might help with debugging this issue. The programs that are obscured with docky are also not recognized as running programs. The icons of these programs are not shown in docky. If there is an icon pinned to dock it always starts a new instance if I click it, because it does not recognize the running instance. For an application that I run from elsewhere it also does not show an icon on docky. For the applications that are recognized and docky icon is shown for them, the hiding works OK.

This is connected to wayland. A workaround is to use Xorg where everything works fine.
