The shell defines a "work area" that is the available desktop space
where windows can be automatically placed. So that's the screen minus
permanent panels/docks. If your dock is set to auto-hide then it will
indeed cover part of the work area where windows (including menus) are
allowed to appear.

Solving this for app windows is not possible without disabling auto-
hide. But it might be possible to solve for this menu case by changing
the stacking order. I don't really know how that would be done in a
Wayland session but it does mean the bug can be reassigned back to the
dock and shell...
