I see this issue fairly frequently with the dock at the RHS of the
display, I do not think it is related to the location.
Having just moved all the other windows on this display away from the
dock location it has opened & remained open without the mouse cursor
over it.
Setting a window to fullscreen again caused the dock to hide & un-
maximising the window did not re-open the dock (ie, it remains hidden).
At this point it can be unhidden normally (without flickering) by moving
the mouse to the screen edge, and dock autohides once the mouse is off
it again.
I conclude there is a problem with the mouseover/show/hide state logic,
since in the example I just gave, the dock opened without the mouseover
as soon as there was screen area for it to avoid overlaying another
window.
Looks like it thought it had a mouseover it was trying to comply with.
I wonder if the mouseover logic is
dock_should_be_open = NOT dock_should_be_open
and somehow it ends up inconsistent with the actual open state of the
dock, so tries to simultaneously open & close when the mouse gets to the
edge of the display (and why it popped open without a mouse for me).

Title:
Ubuntu dock behaves crazy when hidden at the bottom of the screen
Status in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I had put the dock on the bottom of the screen and also set to hide
automatically.
The dock works fine as expected but there are sometimes (actually like 90% of
the time) that it behaves weird when I try to access it with the mouse pointer,
the dock starts to bounce quickly without stopping and then it's kind of hard
to press the icons on it (when I'm lucky I can click the icon), other times I
had to move away the pointer from the bottom and then move it back to access
the dock.
I made a video of it although it's very short but you can see for a brief of
time how the dock starts to bounce.
I haven't installed new packages or applications that change the behaviour of
the dock in any way.
